Belong is a duo composed of Turk Dietrich and Michael Jones from New Orleans. Four years after their formation, they decided to release their first LP October Language with the help of Joshua Estis at masterization, who already worked with Dietrich in the past. October Language was recorded in 2004, but only went out in 2006.

Not the kind of music I can fully describe by words, but I'll try anyway. It's an interesting exercise in style and a very slow moving album, punctuated by strong distortion. There's barely any str░ucture. It can be hypnotic if you're waiting for "something" to happen. After a while, you get engulfed by the loudness and you just don't care about the pacing░. I surprised myself into thinking of how short the album was. I thought it was only 30 minutes when in reality, it's clocking at 4░5 minutes.

There's some moments where it feels like post-rock or shoegaze, the self-titled song Oct░ober Languag░e for exampl▒e tu░rns into intense feedback. In All Equal Now or The Door░ Opens the Other Way, I had the imp▒▓יּression to hﮦe░a▒r one continuous noteﺄ w▒יּ░hen i░n fact, it changes very ░s░lightly.ﭹ You do▓n't feel it.

True or not, this is awesome.
