Belong (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Belong is an American experimental music duo composed of Turk Dietrich and Michael Jones. The group formed in New Orleans in 2002. Their debut album, October Language, was recorded in 2004 and released in 2006. The duo's sound blends ambient and glitch styles, with a focus on guitar textures. Reviews of their music have made comparisons to current glitch and electronica artists like Fennesz and Tim Hecker, as well as the early 1990s shoegazing sound attributed to bands such as My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain.[1] Guitars and synthesizers are run through various effects to produce the band's experimental sound. October Language was created in Dietrich's bedroom and is said to be strongly linked in theme and tone to the duo's New Orleans locale.
