Single released! Ghost Debt from Grand Reopening EP (out October 16)
Lauren Bousfield is a composer and electronic musician from California, based in Los Angeles. Her music is chaotic and dense in noise. She's most known for her work in Nero's Day At Disneyland; a breakcore project with punk influence and unique circus-like melodies. She also played in punk groups such as Beautiful Mutants and Strip Mall Seizures.
Since mid 2026, Lauren Bousfield is performing and releasing new music under the Nero's Day At Disneyland name again. She's also produced music under her own name, as well as part of In-House Pharmacy. She's collaborated with other artists like Ada Rook too. Under her own name, Bousfield's music is more pop-oriented and features more vocals. To me it sounds like a developed version of what she made in Nero's.
What her music means to me
Bousfield is my favorite musician of all time. I connect with a lot of her music made during the NDAD era, feeling a part of how I see myself represented in the sound. The way she composes her music is mesmerizing. The visual language of the art used for her album covers is awesome.
I wish I got into her music earlier. I only discovered her in 2022 but since I've searched for every song I could. The first song of her's that I listened to was "Stretched Linen Over Contorted Bodies." From the first listen I was obsessed. The drowned out intro leading into cacophony of noise is great.
I've always enjoyed electronic music but I feel where my taste has matured now is thanks to finding her work. Now I seek out all kinds of loud, glitchy and strange electronic music. My favorite genre by far is 2000s experimental breakcore because of her work.
