London-based indie rock/punk/alt band Home Counties have dropped their new single “Uptight“, alongside an accompanying video.
The song is taken from their highly-anticipated debut full-length album ‘Exactly As It Seems’, due to be released on May 3 via Submarine Cat Music. Pre-order your copy here.
Prioritising the beauty in the ordinary and unanimously leaning into a fun, exploratory way of thinking, ‘Exactly As It Seems’ presents a notable sonic shift for Home Counties, embracing a more dance-orientated sensibility and an ambitious inventive attention to detail, all with a focus on melody in its purest form.
“We just love songs that are dance-y and we want our gigs to be fun. On our last tour we were finally at a stage where we had enough new material, on top of the last EP, where every song basically felt like a dance song: that’s the music we like to listen to and the shows we want to go to. I don’t really consider us a guitar outfit anymore. We want to be a more melodic band, with pop tunes and catchy songs,” said band member Will.
