  1. 8.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    It’s its own thing, if not shoegaze — orgasmically drowned-out, airy anthems, fitting for fans of Boards of Canada, Tamaryn, Eden Lake, or A Sunny Day in Glasgow

  2. 7.0 |   Slant Magazine

    Belong takes the ambient noise-rock of their October Language LP and recalibrates it for a slightly less overwhelming listen

    Lovely, tender, and loud

  4. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Belong have depersonalised an already stark landscape, making a record that’s easy to admire but hard to love

  5. 6.0 |   Uncut

    There's a genuine, still beauty to tracks like "Perfect Life”. Print edition only

  6. 5.9 |   Pitchfork

    Belong's least mysterious album by far, with a greater emphasis on vocals, perceptibly changing chords, and rock rhythms

  7. 5.0 |   Bowlegs

    On this flawed but beguiling album, Belong push the fuzz to ten until it takes simple melody to a more enthralling level
