On the release of new album Humdrum, Harrison said: “Moving on from our debut, on ‘Humdrum’ we set out to make something dancier and more refined than anything we’d done before. I think we tamed our inherent maximalist tendencies and tried to prioritise melody and groove on these songs, whilst also not shying away from more melancholic feelings. Lyrically, there’s a bit of a shift in approach on this record – looking inwards more than out. It’s a more personal record but also probably more universal in its topics.”

From the breakdown of understanding in a relationship (‘Take You Back’), to the “hangxiety” of saying the wrong thing out of misplaced jealousy (‘Like That’), to the agonising small talk spiral of ‘Roundabout’, Home Counties dissect the chaos and comedy of human interaction. ‘Spain’ stages an argument between your younger idealist and older realist selves, ‘New Best Thing’ struts through class double standards with swaggering confidence, ‘When In Rome’ wrestles with post-riot disillusion, and title track ‘Humdrum’ stands out as a jittery, synth-heavy, hook-laced highlight that reckons with self-sabotage and success envy. Even in its quieter corners – like the tender self-awareness of ‘Meet Me In The Flat Roof’ – Home Counties display an innate ability to balance dry wit with emotional precision.
