Dive into the ocean. Let just enough air from your lungs that you can lie on the bottom, on your back, listening to the New Age music someone on the beach is blasting at an obscene volume. Giant waves of major-key distortion churn and rise and break. Over and over and over. For an entire album. This is October Language by New Orleans experimental artists, Turk Dietrich and Michael Jones, a.k.a. Belong. Not much can be said of track one that can’t be said for all eight. After 30-seconds of “I Never Lose, Never Really,” you’ll know the entire album. But you haven’t had the experience. Sure, Belong’s processed guitar noise sounds like My Bloody Valentine minus drums and vocals. But this same sparseness makes the music more sprawling, epic and, after a half-hour, way more edgy — ‘edgy New Age music,’ is how I’ve touted Belong to friends, though I’m personally fonder of Third Eye Foundation’s similar sound-washes over choppy, low-fi drum-n-bass. But if, instead of sitting up and paying attention, you prefer letting music wash over (and unnerve) you, then…you belong. The brilliant Josh Eustis of Telafon Tel Aviv — another non-traditional local band who, like Belong, garner more national praise than New Orleans’ “famous” locals — aids on production. But for now, New Orleans’ only band ever reviewed in The Wire has also never played a local show.
