About this item
A somewhat enigmatic proposition by current UK standards, sounding refreshingly out of step with current trends, 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. It 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.
