Lovelorn Dolls release new music video “Call Me Your Ghost” with interview featuring new bassist

Belgian gothic/synth-rock band Lovelorn Dolls recently introduced their new bassist, Fabien, alongside the release of their official music video for “Call Me Your Ghost” from their latest 4-song digital EP titled “True Crimes”, which was made available on October 3, 2025, via Alfa Matrix / Spleen+ for download.
The band shared that the inspiration behind the video for “Call Me Your Ghost” is rooted in slasher and serial-killer cinema, characterizing it as a homage to the horror genre that they have seamlessly integrated into their own unique vision, captured in a DIY style.
“True Crimes” can be found as a digital EP on Bandcamp, showcasing tracks such as “Dahlia Bleeds”, “The Boy In The Box”, “Call Me Your Ghost”, and “Velvet Little Voice”. Additionally, a limited physical edition entitled “True Crimes (In Memoriam Bernard Daubresse)” is in the works for an early 2026 release exclusively through the band’s Bandcamp page.
With a recent loss in their band due to the sudden passing of guitarist and co-founder Bernard Daubresse in November 2025, Lovelorn Dolls have been adapting to this change by welcoming Fabien as their new live bassist. They have begun rehearsing with Fabien in preparation for upcoming performances as they gear up to honor Daubresse’s memory.
Lovelorn Dolls are gearing up for a series of live shows in 2026, which are dates that hold a special significance post- Daubresse’s unfortunate passing. Some of the confirmed appearances include:

– May 30, 2026 – Harmony Metal Fest, Antwerp (Belgium)
– August 21-23, 2026 – INFEST Festival, Manchester (UK)
– September 4-6, 2026 – NCN Festival, Deutzen near Leipzig (Germany)

These live performances promise to continue Lovelorn Dolls’ legacy while celebrating the memory of their late co-founder Bernard Daubresse.
“True Crimes” stands as a testament to Bernard Daubresse’s creative legacy, with the EP delving into themes of absence, unresolved voices, and open-ended conclusions. In a recent interview, lead singer Kristell Lowagie reflected on the emotional depth of the record, highlighting the sense of continuation and openness within the music that mirrored Daubresse’s preference for unbounded narratives over definitive endings.
Through their music and performances, Lovelorn Dolls aim to stay connected not only as a band but also to their audience, honoring the memory of Bernard while navigating the transformation brought on by his absence. The band acknowledges the inevitability of change in light of their recent loss yet remains committed to evolving their sound authentically, keeping the spirit of Lovelorn Dolls alive and vibrant.
