Home Counties have released ‘Roundabout’: “It might not be the deepest moment of the album, but it might be the most fun!”

Home Counties have unveiled their latest single ‘Roundabout’, offering a final preview of their forthcoming second album ‘Humdrum’, which will be released via Submarine Cat Records.

The album has been produced by Al Doyle, known for his work with Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem, and will be supported by a UK tour, including in-store performances and headline shows leading up to a final date at Scala in London.

Discussing the single, lead vocalist Will Harrison shared, “This song is about desperately trying to escape a conversation with someone at a party who won’t stop talking about themselves. ‘Roundabout’ is definitely one of the most light-hearted moments of the new album.

“To capture the atmosphere of the subject matter, we ended up recording our friends talking shit in the pub garden of our local in Homerton, which you can hear during the bridge. I think you can hear Bill talking about HS2 at one point. It might not be the deepest moment of the album, but it might be the most fun!”
