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.

Nothing else like Belong. The way I love listening to this album is with headphones, as I go to sleep, on the lowest volume setting, so that it all feels like some kind of distant, weak yet haunting music beyond a dimension that I'm just sleeping near enough to hear the life living within it.

Wonderful video, so fitting for the music! And what fantastic music, so intense and immersive. Thanks for posting

the part at 4:25 always gets me. it's such a melancholy pure tone among all the white "noise"

This + Acid = the most profound thing I have ever experienced in my life. Beyond beautiful!

October Language is a great album.

belong is very good at what they do ... colorloss record is outstanding ... sounds like a young tim hecker the day after his menarche or something, mourning the loss of his innocence, but hopeful for what's to come (a scenario/sentiment clearly expressed in 'rainbow blood') ... for real
