Limited to 50 available copies.Prioritisingthe beauty in the ordinary and unanimously leaninginto afun, exploratory way of thinking, debut album039Exactly As It Seems039 presents a notable sonic shift for Home Counties, embracinga more danceorientated sensibility and an ambitiousinventive attention to detail, all with a focuson melody in its purest form. With last years In A Middle English Town EP propelling their live set into fullon hedonistic party territory, the addition of new vocalistLois Kellyin late 2022completedtheirtransformation, with the bandfully embracingthe power of a good time.We just love songs that are dancey and we want our gigs to be fun. On our last tour we were finally at a stage where we had enough new material, on top of the last EP, where every song basically felt like a dance song thats the music we like to listen to and the shows we want to go to.I dont really consider us a guitar outfit anymore. We want to be a more melodic band, with pop tunes and catchy songs,34 said Will. On the Home Counties stereo when it came to finalising their debut album, a list of favourites as varied as they come were given air time jungle the genre, not the band, Talking Heads, Britney Spears, The Slits. At the centre of it all is nothing except simple quality.We just appreciate something if its a banger rather than having to put a criteria on it,says Conor. Thematically, meanwhile, the band have been traversing the ups and downs of London life, documenting their findings as they barrel towards the second half of their twenties and all that that entailslaments on renting and how rubbish landlords are and how unaffordable it is, the feeling of getting olderturning 25 and not wanting to go clubbing and feeling guilty about that always managing to balancethe duality of lyrical frankness and musical buoyancy with gusto. With an eye for the daytoday, alltoorelatable details of crap modern living,coupled with an ear for hookfilled, grininducing melody, the payoff is one riddled in joy rather than despair. Or, as Conor succinctly sums up the current ethos of the bandMy life is ruined cos I cant afford rent, but Im gonna dance about it.

Cassette

A cassette tape is a nostalgic format that continues to hold a special place in music culture. Known for its warm, analogue sound and compact design, cassettes offer a unique listening experience that many audiophiles cherish. Their physical nature and simple playback process—complete with the iconic “tape hiss”—add a layer of authenticity that digital formats can’t replicate.

Cassette tapes also evoke a sense of nostalgia, bringing back memories of mixtapes, car rides, and the early days of music discovery. Collecting cassettes allows music enthusiasts to connect with the past while embracing the charm of a format that was once central to the music industry. Whether you’re seeking vintage classics or exploring modern releases on tape, cassettes remain a beloved part of music history.
