Home Counties - Humdrum (Clear Vinyl)

'Humdrum' is the new album by East-London sextet, Home Counties. Written in the Summer of 2024, and recorded with Al Doyle of LCD Soundsystem last Autumn, the band's second album 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, 'Humdrum' trades in wiry grooves, synths that lurch between menace and euphoria, and razor-sharp pop instincts - wrapping knotty ideas into songs that feel both meticulously constructed and joyfully unhinged.
