The Jaded Lover production duo are back, and this time they each apply the remix treatment to a catchy new ditty featuring Marc Nelson on vocals, who was the executive producer at The Alley Recording Company.
Jaded Lover returns with Ex-Post Dishes, a single that was vaguely inspired by Pulp’s infamous “Dishes.” Beyond the title though, the similarities to Mr. Cocker’s domestic musings end as New Wave guitar, synth, and drums mesh with the vocals to create the already hook-laden label’s catchiest tune yet.
Is there time enough? There certainly is for the latest single from Jaded Lover. The production duo turn out their catchiest synthpop number to date with a series of hooks and licks that are sure to stick in your head long after the clock runs out.
Jaded Lover have a more serious aspect of their sound to highlight on their sophomore outing. “White Pelt” is a markedly somber single that features mystery vocalist Starlore.

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.

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.
