Home Counties

Saint Etienne

A concept record about the commuter belt. Shimmering indie-pop, radio interludes, and woodwind-flecked stories of suburban boredom and beauty.

June 2, 2017 · Heavenly

Find on Amazon

A gentle, observant, and slightly ironic appreciation of suburban life and its hidden histories.

Moments Worth Listening For
the sudden burst of radio static and 'Popmaster' jingle that grounds the album in british domesticity
the sprawling seven-minute psych-folk odyssey of 'Sweet Arcadia' that closes the record with a haunting historical perspective
the shimmering, classic pop hook of 'Magpie Eyes' that perfectly captures the band's signature melodic warmth

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does Home Counties sound next to the rest of Saint Etienne's catalogue?

Train Ride saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
