Pitchfork

New Orleans duo Belong will add vocals to their shoegazey instrumental attack on an upcoming vinyl and digital LP on Secretly Canadian spin-off St. Ives.

The untitled, five-track LP-- which Belong's Turk Dietrich initially discussed with Pitchfork last fall-- consists of reinterpretations of late 60s psych songs. However, aside from a few song titles ("Girl From New York", "Beeside", and "Fancy"), it is currently without a tracklist. The LP is also without a specific release date, but it's due out at some point this summer.

Belong are also beginning to work on the follow-up to their debut, 2006's October Language, and they hope to release it in January or February. They are currently unveiling some new material on a U.S. tour with the Album Leaf. Young Galaxy will join both bands for the latter half of the tour, which continues tonight (May 8), currently Young Galaxy-less in Orlando.
