Search - Charlottefield :: What Are Friends for

2008 sophomore album from the brittle, experimental British Post-Rock outfit. What Are Friends For is a fresh chapter in the bands recorded history, reflecting a wider sense of pace and dynamics, and a broader contextual understanding of itself. Sharp, repetitive and immediate, yet guided by melody and deftly arranged, somewhere out of tension comes something life affirming. As ever, poised somewhere between tension and post-traumatic release, What Are Friends For stays true to Charlottefield's truculent agenda, though perhaps more significantly, the songs are liable to purvey or refract an increased awareness of discomforting, transient environments. Fat Cat.
