alarm!systemen turn six years of tape recordings into a debut album for Antibody

Brussels-based project alarm!systemen unveiled its self-titled debut album on July 31, 2026, through Belgian label Antibody. Sole creator Jorne Leurs composed, performed, and sang all ten tracks blending minimal synthpop with cold wave aesthetics and drum machines, incorporating both Dutch and English vocals. The album represents a six-year collection of cassette recordings and improvisations spanning 2019 to 2024, originally conceived as a personal audio diary rather than a formal studio project. Mastered by Yannick Franck with artwork by Yesse Hoedemaekers, the record displays dynamic song structures ranging from compact pop pieces to extended compositions, with four tracks exceeding six minutes and the longest, ‘Eindeloos,’ reaching over eight minutes. Released exclusively in 24-bit digital format on Bandcamp without physical pressing, the album marks alarm!systemen’s inaugural official release. Antibody, the Brussels-based label operated by Franck, specializes in deconstructed electronic and experimental music across techno, industrial, and dark ambient genres.
