Lovelorn Dolls has unveiled their new EP, True Crimes, which explores some of history’s darkest crimes through a cinematic darkwave lens. This release is the first to feature Eric Renwart as a full-time member alongside Kristell Lowagie and Bernard Daubresse. The four tracks delve into infamous cases, including the Black Dahlia and Jonbenet Ramsey, with compelling narratives brought to life by evocative music and visuals. The cover art, depicting a girl in pigtails, encapsulates a childlike curiosity attempting to navigate humanity’s horrors.
Given the thematic depth of True Crimes, how do you think artists can balance the portrayal of such grim topics with the necessity for sensitivity and empathy?
