Cold wave/dream pop duo Lunar Lock (Angers, France) have released the single “Soldier Of Crimes” today November 11, 2025. Their debut album “Stay Low For A Reason” follows on December 5 as a digital release with pre-orders open now.
Singer Romain Le Lavandier says that the song “depicts the tragedy of war, the pain of a soldier forced to fight for futile causes,” adding that it “denounces the abuses of power and the sacrifices of innocent people.”
“Soldier Of Crimes” appears on the album’s nine-song tracklist. Earlier album singles “Blind At Heart,” “I Need To Find Some Time,” and “Us Against The World” are already available.
