October Language is an album by Belong, released in on 7 February 2006. The release received positive reviews that mentioned the duo’s New Orleans residence and the My Bloody Valentine or Kevin Shields influence over its sound. Though lacking the pop-rock form of most My Bloody Valentine tracks, the underlying melodies and the detail placed on the texture of the guitars are what place this group somewhere in the realm of the shoegazing sound.

The album was printed and released on vinyl for the first time in 2009 by Geographic North Records, a label based out of Atlanta, GA.
