Home Counties make their debut with 'Redevelopment'
Bristol-based band Home Counties bring their angular guitar work and furious percussion to their socially-charged debut single, 'Redevelopment'.
The earworm track is about town redevelopment, the band explain. “Lyrically, the first half of the song takes the view of 1960s redevelopers, with the second half addressing the tearing down of modernist buildings and replacing them with gentrified luxury flats. The song points out that these ideas of nostalgia, urban decay and progress come around in cycles. Fundamentally, it suggests that we should be as wary of arguments against redevelopment, as of redevelopment itself.”
'Redevelopment', out today, is the title track from the band's upcoming debut EP, produced by Theo Verney (Egyptian Blue, Fur), which is due for release later this year.
