Born in the dense heat of New Orleans, Louisiana, Belong is a
collaborative effort between Turk Dietrich and Michael Jones, whose
debut album, October Language, goes beyond traditional song structure to
a place where melodic figures blur, and textures are gorgeously
sculpted into an ocean of sound. 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.
