Belong is a duo hailing from New Orleans that makes music in the ambient traditions of early shoegaze, the darkest reflections of present day chillwave and the godfather of said genre, Brian Eno. Their first album October Language was born from their home city's tragic flooding and the hardship that followed. Now with a firm backing from present label Kranky, Belong is preparing their third LP Common Era for release on March 21. The first track is now available for your ears below.
"Perfect Life" is a step forward in the band's repertoire that adds a thick Joy Division-inspired beat and gauzy vocals that never distract from the delicate synths that still wash over the listener. The new song feels like a cautious exercise, creating only new possibilities for Belong on this new effort. Check out the new track next to an old one from October Language to witness the growth firsthand.
