Belong is an experimental duo from New Orleans formed by Turk Dietrich and Michael Jones. Their music is built from heavily processed guitars and noise. The duo is best known for its debut album October Language, released by Carpark in 2006. Belong put out the tour CDr Tour, the EP Colorloss Record in 2008 and the EP Same Places. October Language was reissued on vinyl by Geographic North in 2009 and by Spectrum Spools, the Editions Mego imprint, in 2018. The second album, Common Era, came out on Kranky in 2011. The third, Realistic IX, followed in 2024.
