'How Long Are You Staying' highlights a band at ease, at once expressive and clearly in control. Self-recorded last year, Charlottefield's debut LP clocks in at just under half an hour, and provides a neat introduction to the band. If Charlottefield are informed by hardcore punk and post-punk experimentalism, these are still nevertheless more parallels than influences worn on sleeves. Heavily syncopated and deftly arranged, 'How Long Are You Staying' still manages to sound unapologetically English, recalling the likes of THE FALL, LIFE WITHOUT BUILDINGS and ahost of UK guitar bands - sharp, repetitive and immediate, yet guided by melody.
