British post-punk outfit Home Counties are fresh off of a tour with bands like Courting and have no plans of slowing down, recently sharing their new single “The Home Counties” which will be on their second EP In A Middle English Town, due out in February 2022 via Alcopop! Records.
“The Home Counties” – which was produced and mixed by the band’s guitarist Conor Kearney – is a funky and colorful blend of synth-led post-punk. The track has a frantic Talking Heads-like eccentric bite to it while also possessing the energy and creativity of fellow contemporaries of the scene such as Courting and Squid.
About the song, vocalist and guitarist Will Harrison commented:
The song ‘The Home Counties’ is set in a small town somewhere in the South of England and centres around a generic married couple and their daily existence. It is about mundanity, claustrophobia and suspicion of everything outside of the semi-detached. The characters are placeless and nondescript, emblematic of the uniformity of middle-class people across the commuter belt.
