In the hands of Jaded Lover, “It Hurts” is a sonic journey between spaced-out self-reflections, punctuated by the occasional, sweeping bass drop, making it both the perfect track by which to chill and vibe.
“We all have to go sometime,” his voice now somehow powerfully audible over the din of the bar and ambiance of the venue. It seemingly bypassed everyone’s ears altogether, pushing right into their minds.“But for all of us in this room, that night is tonight.”
“Detritus” is a seductive earworm that says much while saying little. Jaded Lover throw a couple of EBM cyborgs from your post-apocalyptic nightmares into their “Sifting Through The Ashes Mix” to round out the single.
Tap tap tap. Too terrified to turn around, the arm I thought was holding my phone has disappeared. I had never made the call. My arm is missing. Earlier I made a call using it and had a full conversation. All I can think is “that man stole my arm.”

Within The Sounds Of Room 237, all work and no play, can make you a dull boy…
Jaded Lover return with a pop-off across the sheets paean to pornography. A sly, slick sing-a-long, “Watching Porno (feat. SaraJeanne)” transmits a generous jerk of electro-static pop. The tight, laughing vocal from SaraJeanne lips the saucy sippy cup with glee.

Magic Without Indulgences
Is it possible…?
“Disco!” basically does what it says on the tin: catchy dance music flecked with an organic yet polished modern take on the aforementioned genre destined for the dance floor.
“The Thing Expands” is based on Carpenter’s “The Thing” and adds an ominous kick drum while swapping out Ennio Morricone’s string arrangements for analogue synth squelch that’s as cosmic as it is foreboding.

Dark Balearic is a genre I “made up” to reflect the massive span of influences our music encompasses. Maybe (hopefully?) we are caught in a phaseout, where genre seems to be a factor still, but people who enjoy music don’t stick so rigidly to their sacred cows.
Although people do often require things delivered in neat boxes, music included. Ultimately I racked my brain on a flexible genre idea giving Jaded Lover the freedom to do whatever we want creatively.
Here is a fantastic article on Ibiza-style real deal Balearic HERE.
Here is another article on the lesser-known La Ruta scene HERE.
So rubber hitting the road “Dark Balearic” encompasses all the genres and music we are into and would ever want to make. Think Chicago + New York + Detroit + Manchester + London + Ibiza + Valencia + Berlin + Yadda + Yadda + Yadda…
So why not tweak a “genre” that, to me, means tastefully play and make whatever the hell you want to. 🤷♂️
So when aaaaanybody goes, “Well, what music do you make?”
Boom – Dark Balearic!
It’s a thing now.
I made it a thing.
