HOME COUNTIES release new video for “Village Spirit”
“The video is a loose and modern portrayal of the historic event the song is written about (the communal murder of a nobleman in nineteenth-century France). We wanted it to be a bit Hot Fuzz, with the comically over-stereotyped village characters played by the band members. The video was shot in Haddenham, Buckinghamshire, which is a very quaint best kept village sort of place – which gives the video a postcard portrayal of idyllic village life. Haddenham is also the inspiration for the EP artwork, which is based on a gordy painting in the village hall, so it felt fitting to set the video there. We had a lot of fun making this video and are chuffed with how it turned out – thanks to the amazing work of Taylor and Harry. It was a pleasure working with these guys.”
