Almost five years to the day when Evan Rachel Wood came out on Instagram and named Marilyn Manson as her abuser, she released her first solo EP under the pseudonym Lenore Pink. The EP, released today (2/4/26) on Spotify and Apple and can be heard also on her YouTube channel, consists of three songs, which she says she has worked on for a number of years and is finally now releasing during this time in her career when she decided to take a break from acting.

Almost five years to the day when Evan Rachel Wood came out on Instagram and named Marilyn Manson as her abuser, she released her first solo EP under the pseudonym Lenore Pink. The EP, released today (2/4/26) on Spotify and Apple and can be heard also on her YouTube channel, consists of three songs, which she says she has worked on for a number of years and is finally now releasing during this time in her career when she decided to take a break from acting.
With the release of this EP she also did an interview on the American Songwriter channel, where she mostly talks about her current life and breaks down how the new EP came together. In this interview, Evan continues her streak of never referring to her 12 year old as a son, but awkwardly struggles to call him "kid", "they", "them", "people", "person". Jaime Bell however has no problem calling Jack his son.
As for the name Lenore Pink, Evan said in an interview back in August that she’s been using it privately for years. “I really deliberated over what I was gonna do, and I’ve had a pseudonym since high school that I’ve always made music under,” she said. “And I thought, ‘Don’t overthink it, just use the name you picked 20 years ago.’ So that’s what I’m doing.”
Evan talks about introducing the world to Lenore Pink, in the interview with American Songwriter, which she claims is a name she came up with for herself in high school. What she fails to mention is that Marilyn Manson fans who followed their relationship on MySpace recall the name Lenore Pink as her profile name from around the time she became engaged to Manson in December 2009. Whether this is the real origin of the name, it is unclear, but since Evan is known for reframing narratives to better suit herself at the moment, it wouldn't be surprising that the real origins of the name came from the time she was in a relationship with Manson.

One thing Evan has not been asked is how the name Lenore Pink came about. Knowing Evan's obsession with the novel and movie Lolita in high school, which she carried over into her relationship with Manson, it wouldn't be far fetched to think that there is some relationship of the name with her whole Lolita persona that she cultivated before and with Manson. My thinking is that it is a mixture of her interest in both Edgar Allan Poe, who uses the literary character of Lenore in his works, and Lolita which has many references to Edgar Allan Poe, primarily because he married his first cousin, Virginia Eliza Clemm, when he was 27 and she was 13. Poe's literary Lenore is said to be inspired by Virginia, who died at the age of 24. And as for the color Pink which she uses as a surname, one reference can be how Lolita is described as wearing a pink dress in the novel. Thus the name Lenore Pink conjures an image of darkness and light mixed together.
What is even more interesting is how far Evan has gone to show how she is still obsessed with Lolita, which is odd seeing that she plays a Lolita character in a Marilyn Manson video which she now claims she was raped in. The way she more clearly shows this is in the name of the trademark she released her new EP under, which is called "One Sock Records." According to the trademark information, "LENORE PINK is a trademark owned by One Sock Records LLC, a South Pasadena based entity located in CA. The trademark was filed on 19 May 2025 with serial number (#99192589)." The significance of the "one sock" comes from an interview she did in 2009, where she talks about her obsession with Lolita as a teenager, to the point where she would walk around with one sock just like Lolita does in the novel.
From this information we can clearly see that Evan is hiding something, but hiding it in plain sight. She is clearly still obsessed with Marilyn Manson, and anyone that follows her closely knows this. The name Lenore Pink is publicly linked to her relationship with Manson, her Lolita obsession is publicly linked with Marilyn Manson. The name Lenore Pink was even written on the wall of Marilyn Manson's apartment when they were engaged.
That's all I really have to say about the new EP and her new project under the pseudonym Lenore Pink. It is not only about her releasing her music. It is about her continued obsessions with Lolita and Marilyn Manson.
