Belgian-American musician fuses cinematic art pop and alt-rock soundscapes on new EP
Very few artists are truly adept at moving from genre to genre, while keeping a true sense of their own sound throughout the project. A rare example of this is Belgian-American artist La Leurentop. On her new EP Fragments in the basement of my mind she delivers a defiant, raw, and intentionally unpolished project. Comprised of nearly two decades of voice memos and demos, the album acts as a sonic field journal, prioritizing vulnerable, human imperfection over the sterile, AI-driven soundscapes of the modern era.
Sonically, the project merges art-pop with an alternative-rock backbone, featuring textured, cinematic soundscapes that resist traditional, polished structures. Lyrically, the album explores themes of love, rage, and liberation, offering an honest, introspective look at the process of self-becoming. There’s moments of reggae influence with tracks like “Queen,” while the lead single “Running Gun” is an all out alt-indie anthem.
There’s true versatility coursing through the songwriting on this project – with an artist taking her own stance and artistic expression to it’s limit. Give it a spin below!
