Belong
BelongOctober Language
I felt a little uncomfortable when I first found myself straying into post-shoegaze territory, but after listening to October Language, the first full length album from Belong, a duo from New Orleans, I realized I wasn’t so out of place. Although on first listen, the opening track sounded more like a 35 rpm scratched classical record played over a de-tuned television set, I soon realized I was utterly mistaken. After honing on the album’s subtle complexities, I saw the music in an entirely new light: the alternating waves of blips and glitches in a sea of slow synth guitar tones, with a faint mist of static; a kind of rough-edged beauty that’s hard to come by. In all, Belong’s October Language is a hauntingly beautiful, meandering album that is certainly not to be overlooked.
