New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, California alt-duo slenderbodies release their new song "belong," a cut from their upcoming debut album. A lush, dream-pop slice of heaven, the song serves as a testament to the commonalities we all share across cultures and generations.
Shot by Pulse Films, the gorgeous, high-concept video for the song poses a hypothetical, borderless Russia and China. The visuals embrace the message of radical empathy and belongingness in a place historically teeming with conflict, featuring cinematic shots of people from both sides of the border in all aspects of their daily lives.

"belong is so many things to us," says the "dynamic pairing." (Clash) "it's this fun dancey record, but that carefree feeling is all built from the concept of the song. belong is about the warmth and fullness we got from vibrant enriching communities, how those communities intertwined us with nature and ultimately brought us to a place of peacefulness with our identities to be able to feel like we belong anywhere."
