Simultaneously meticulously constructed and joyfully unhinged, the bouncy, squelchy, hi-energy post-pop of the East-London sextet, Home Counties, is resplendent on this, their second album.
Recorded with Al Doyle of LCD Soundsystem, ‘Humdrum’ explores themes of fractious communication, quiet resentment, and the spiral of overthinking. Told through the dual voices and perspectives of lead vocalists, Will Harrison and Lois Kelly, they apply razor-sharp pop instincts to twist knotty ideas into wiry grooves and synths that lurch between menace and euphoria.
