Today sees Home Counties return with their ecstatic new single Spain. Produced by Al Doyle (of Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem), the new track from the London-based outfit confronts the unsettling fear of turning into the very thing you once opposed. Spain is the first music to be heard since the band's acclaimed 2024 debut album 'Exactly As It Seems'. "‘Spain’ is essentially an argument with yourself," explains frontman Will Harrison. "It's about growing older and fearing the person you might become, or are already becoming. Taking the form of a conversation between a starry-eyed idealist and life-weathered realist, it imagines watching an argument between a younger and older version of yourself. It’s about figuring out if you can grow up without losing sight of your values or if it’s just a worthless endeavour." Take a listen for yourselves below.
