Belong began on the WestBank of New Orleans in 2002, but it was not until 2004 that "October Language" was made. The album was assembled, composed, and produced in Dietrich's bedroom studio; however, the inspiration for the songs goes well beyond the walls. The album encapsulates their hometown of New Orleans, at once bathed in sunlight and colors, yet dripping in decay and a rich sadness. It is a record that attempts to display the beauty in things that are worn, decayed or destroyed.
Following in the tradition of bands like My Bloody Valentine and Gas, guitars, synths and other musical sources are wrenched from their typical tones, revealing themselves in bright shards of distortion. Melodies are similarly enveloped in a sort of aural atrophy, forever repeating their blurring calls. At the end, all that remains is a noise so potent it leaves the sonic equivalent of the sun's imprint on a retina.
Turk Dietrich has previously collaborated with Telefon Tel Aviv's Joshua Eustis under the name Benelli, whose remix of Nine Inch Nails' "The Frail (Version)" is found on the acclaimed NIN EP "Things Falling Apart". Eustis played a small part in the production of "October Language", in addition to playing slide guitar on the album's title track.

One of my fav bands. Wonder how they get this sort of broken up fragile distortion. A noise generator sidechaining a gate?

Lyrics:
She came from New York in the summer
We went to the zoo
She said that London was lovely
We had a good view
I called her at four in the morning
She came to the phone
We met in a park as the dawn came
I picked her a rose
Some how we found the time
To love each others mind
Peanut butter's fine
She came from New York in the summer
We went to the zoo
She said that London was lovely
We had a good view
And now she's gone away
I'm waiting for the day
When she will be mine
I called her at four in the morning
She came to the phone
We met in a park as the dawn came
I picked her a rose

Billy Nicholls + a lot of reverb = a strange cover

+William Jacques I didn't check the whole EP at first, but it appears that the 4 songs are 60 's covers : July, Billy Nicholls, Syd Barrett and Tintern Abbey. They definitely have good taste...
William Jacques
+IamSapindeNoel Didn't know it was a cover! They must have an odd music library because their version of "My Clown" is a cover of a psych-rock song by this obscure band (July) from the 60s.
