イングランド/ロンドン拠点のポストパンクバンド Home Countiesが、1/26にAlcopop!からリリースしたニューシングル 'Village Spirit'のMVを公開！
2/11発売のEP『In A Middle English Town』収録曲。もはやモダンでキャッチーなアートパンクの若手代表格ですね。ダンサブルなところも好きだし、意外とプロデュース・ミキシングをメンバー Conor Kearneyがやってるのも良い。
“The song is based on a book by historian Alain Corbin, Village of Cannibals, which is about the murder of a nobleman in late nineteenth century France” “Based on rumours, the whole village was whipped up into a frenzy and ended up brutally torturing and murdering the nobleman. The lyrics focus on the contrast between positivity of place-based collectivism, and the meaning it can bring, and the often tragic consequences of it. It’s a really messed up story, and contrasts what is probably one of our most gentle and melodic songs.” - Will Harrison
