Album Description

The first new release in five years for the British alternative dance trio was co-produced by Shawn Lee.

User Album Review
Home Counties is a loosely Kinks-ian concept album, revelling in the staid, pastoral surroundings of southern England: the “doughnut of shires that ring the capital", explains Bob Stanley. The arrangements here are crisp and atmospheric, but never imposing. The piano-led Something New, for example, or the whimsical harpsichord at the beginning of Whyteleafe, provide gentle, loping soundtracks that Sarah Cracknell's breathy vocals can glide over, painting beautiful pictures of the bucolic English countryside.
Whether musing about 'heading home across the moors' or 'DVDs in the boot sale', the band rarely deviate from their thematic nexus, which helps to tie the album together as it sprawls over nineteen tracks. As they move closer to the middle ground, Saint Etienne are far from re-inventing the wheel, but in writing delectable pop hooks about a place as decidely uncool as the home counties, that was never really the point. --- theskinny.co.uk
