It’s been a while since an artist has emerged with the rare ability to pull listeners into a
transfixing, intricate world quite like 21-year-old self-taught artist and producer, Erin
LeCount. A visionary sonic architect, Erin’s baroque-pop arrangements, paired with diaristic
lyrics and captivating synths, create an alluring interplay of vulnerability and strength. Songs
like the viral hit “Silver Spoon” pulse with an electronic heart, exploring identity, relationships,
and the meaning of life.
The Covid-19 lockdown changed everything for Erin. At 17, she locked herself in her
bedroom, learning to produce on Logic, writing songs, and posting them online. She signed
with an independent label and began writing with other artists, but the experience reminded
her of childhood pressures. Choosing to part ways with the label, Erin embraced total
creative control, much like fellow singer-producers Grimes and Caroline Polachek. Now
working with TaP Management (Lana Del Rey, Polachek), Erin’s music reflects both her raw,
commanding energy and the influence of her mother’s ballet career. The beauty of Swan
Lake, which played on repeat at home, has shaped her visuals and aesthetic sensibility.
On her astonishing EP I Am Digital, I Am Divine, Erin’s dreamy and atmospheric production
crafts complex real stories about her intimate relationships with herself and other people.
