Today, Los Angeles, CA-based indie electronic artist Baby Jane shares ethereal, boundary-breaking debut album, A Grave Marked Strange, out now alongside the long-awaited early 2000s-style rave track "End of the Night." Releasing aptly today on Friday the 13th, the project blends hardstyle, jumpstyle, witch house, hard bounce, and techno into something cinematic, theatrical, and unafraid to break form.
Each track on A Grave Marked Strange, co-produced by Baby Jane and War Tourism, draws from classic horror themes—but with a campy, self-aware twist. Over 16 tracks, the tone is dramatic and stylized, but rooted in real vulnerability. Beneath the distortion and percussive intensity are sticky melodies, sharp hooks, and emotional undercurrents. The project features a collaborative verse from Damazein and additional guitar work by Matthew Michna on the ballad “Sistine.”
Baby Jane shares, "I wrote 'A Grave Marked Strange' about the feelings of such intensity that walk the line between life and death. It is the place where you meet your lover in pure bliss or agony outside the realms of convention and mundane life. At her core, Baby Jane is the protagonist I play in my fantasies; macabre and hopeless in nature, but holding out for reality to give her a reason to not to slip into the other side."
"End of the Night" which has already gained heavy traction on TikTok officially arrives today. The euphoric dance track delivers punchy, nostalgic Eurodance and hardstyle energy. With hard bounce influences and a hook built to last, it taps into the pulse of the early 2000s rave sound reimagined for today.
Calling back to her Eastern European roots, Baby Jane says, "'End of the Night' is my attempt at reviving the care-free nostalgia of 2000s eurodance. Inspired by early memories of driving around with my mom listening to Russia’s hit dance station 'Evropa Plus,' the synths and hardstyle kick are meant to feel like dancing all night in a Lithuanian disco thrown in a storage unit. Thematically, the song tells a story of the internal war of good and evil that occurs when you succumb to temptation, the fallout, and the plea for forgiveness."
Born to Soviet immigrants, Baby Jane left school at 14 to pursue songwriting full time and later studied music production. Influenced by the melancholic pop of her early childhood, Baby Jane draws from her Eastern European roots while carving a resonant, distinct space of her own through textural, cinematic soundscapes. She later began work as a DJ in the LA underground techno scene, leading to the development of her own gothic house sound. Earlier this year, Baby Jane honed her artistic vision through a string of singles and now reaches nearly a million monthly Spotify listeners. With the release of her debut album, written, recorded and engineered herself, a steadily growing online presence and fervent fan base known as The Coven, Baby Jane is proving herself as one to watch in the genre-defying, experimental electronic space.
Entirely new and entirely Baby Jane, the artist has finally, officially arrived with her visceral debut album A Grave Marked Strange out everywhere now. Keep up with the artist on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube for more.
