BELONG – Realistic IX

Description

Acid-washed motorik drone with buried vocals from experimental duo.Follows up, thirteen years later, from critically acclaimed album Common Era.

Realistic IX, the third full-length by the duo of Michael Jones and TurkDietrich aka Belong, is both an expansion and excavation of their signatureacid-washed songcraft.
Bleached guitars, metronomic drums, and buried voices rev, swirl, andseethe across shifting gradients of haze and hypnosis, alternately driving anddiffuse. Melodies surge closer to the surface, flexing their form beforeresubmerging into quickening currents of feedback. Elsewhere the elementsdissipate into a dusk of murk and microtonalities, electricity liberated backinto infinite night.

Although its been thirteen years since Belongs prior Kranky offering,Common Era, none of the duos rare synergy has decayed in the interim.Jones and Dietrichs commitment to oblique states of motorik drone andliminal emotion continues to evolve and unfold, increasingly tactile andunreal, an alluring glow glimpsed through fogged windows at witching hours.
