Belong
Realistic Ix
Appearing 13 years after the critically acclaimed 'Common Era' album, this third full-length by Michael Jones and Turk Dietrich (a.k.a. Belong) is both an expansion and excavation of the duo's signature acid-washed songcraft. Bleached guitars, metronomic drums and buried voices rev, swirl and seethe across shifting gradients of haze and hypnosis, alternately driving and diffuse. Melodies surge closer to the surface, flexing their form before resubmerging into quickening currents of feedback. Elsewhere the elements dissipate into a dusk of murk and microtonalities, electricity liberated back into infinite night.
