Belong - colorloss (2008, st. ives)

“October Language” still haunts me, at least sometimes I return to listen to the two first tracks of their debut album fervently and let the rest of the album flow.

So it wasn't without high expectations that I've listened fervently to their next ep. And expecting more of the same I was disappointed as instead of originals, it features four songs, as much covers than reworking of the original versions.

Belong - october language (2006, Carpark)

The place where Flying Saucer Attack meets Gas, where My Bloody Valentine's textures of distorted guitars are used in a Stars of The Lid kind of way, where Eno's ambient records are mixed with the disintegration trials of William Basinski and the love of atmospheric drones of Rafael Toral's early discography? Belong is a duo from New Orleans and I came to their record through several recommendations made by Dan Burton (Early Day Miners).
