CHARLOTTEFIELD's sophomore album builds on the post-hardcore foundations of their previous LP. An album that should appeal to fans of DISCHORD, SHELLAC, YOURCODENAMEISMILO, PISSED JEANS et al. Charlottefield's second album is still undoubtedly informed by post-hardcore and post-punk experimentalism, yet bears witness to a band clearly focused on extending their sonic palette. 'What Are Friends For' builds on the anglicised post-hardcore foundations of their previous album 'How Long Are You Staying'. Utilising a familiar four-piece, dual guitar, bass, drums and vocals template, Charlottefield's oeuvre is stripped of extraneous musical frippery, focusing instead on rhythmic, structural and textural detail; a constantly shifting dialogue between a democratic band.
