Saint Etienne, Home Counties, 2017

In early 2017, King was commissioned by Bob Stanley of Saint Etienne to create the cover and campaign for the band’s Brexit-themed new album, Home Counties. Together, King and Stanley devised a cover that was both a celebration – and a critique of – the ordinariness of suburban Britain.

The album’s download card took the form of a postcard, typical of those sold around Trafalgar Square; but in this version, Nelson is without his column.
