THE MURDERERS OF LOVE ARE SOMETIMES A LIVE BAND, SOMETIMES A RECORDING PROJECT, AND SOMETIMES BOTH (OR NEITHER). IT’S REALLY MOSTLY SINGER/GUITARIST/SONGWRITER JAIMIE MUEHLHAUSEN AND FEATURES A TALENTED ARRAY OF INCREDIBLE MUSICIANS CONTRIBUTING TO WHATEVER IT IS AT THE MOMENT.

ABOUT THE MURDERERS OF LOVE

JAIMIE GREW UP IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA, A GREAT LIVE MUSIC CITY WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF SOUNDS THAT BLEND INTO ITS OWN THING. IN FACT, IT'S ACTUALLY KNOWN AS "THE TULSA SOUND." IT'S A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF BLUES AND ROCK AND COUNTRY THAT HAS PRODUCED EVERYONE FROM LEON RUSSELL TO HANSON. AND THESE DAYS THERE IS A NEW SONGWRITER MOVEMENT IN THE TULSA AREA, WITH JOHN MORELAND AND JOHN FULLBRIGHT AND KEN POMEROY AND WILDERADO LEADING THE WAY. WHEN YOU ADD IT ALL UP, IT'S NOT ONE THING OR ANOTHER...IT'S JUST PLAIN GOOD MUSIC. AND THAT'S THE DNA OF THE MURDERERS OF LOVE.

“NO HOPE OF FINDING LOVE,” THE NEW 5-SONG EP FROM THE MURDERERS OF LOVE, CAME OUT IN APRIL OF 2025. AND WHILE IT DIDN’T EXACTLY COME OUT OF NOWHERE, IT DEFINITELY WASN’T SOMETHING THAT JAIMIE PLANNED. BUT THAT’S HOW BREAK-UP ALBUMS SOMETIMES HAPPEN. THE MURDERERS OF LOVE’S EXCELLENT 2019 RELEASE “MOTEL,” PRODUCED BY ALAN DEREMO AND FEATURING AN ALL-STAR GROUP OF MUSICIANS, CAME OUT JUST AS COVID HIT, WHICH KILLED WHATEVER MOMENTUM WAS BUILDING. JAIMIE TOOK SOME TIME AWAY FROM SONGWRITING AND CONCENTRATED ON HIS BUDDING FOLK ART CAREER. HE HAD A SOLO ART SHOW AT THE HOT NEW CRUISE CONTROL GALLERY IN CAMBRIA, CALIFORNIA. AND THEN THE SONGS STARTED COMING OUT. AND WITH NO PLANS TO RECORD ANYTHING NEW, THERE WAS A DILEMMA TO EITHER SWITCH GEARS OR IGNORE THE OBVIOUS.

SO JAIMIE PACKED UP THE PAINT AND CANVASES AND SET THE HOME RECORDING STUDIO BACK UP. AND THINGS CAME ABOUT PRETTY QUICKLY. JUST AS TWO SONGS WERE DONE, JAIMIE’S FRIEND, NASHVILLE GUITARIST ADAM LOPEZ, MOVED BACK HOME TO CALIFORNIA AND ENDED UP LENDING HIS GUITAR SKILLS TO THE NEXT TWO SONGS. AND FINALLY THE LAST SONG FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT IT WAS AFTER A FEW FAILED RECORDING ATTEMPTS. THEN, JUST FOR FUN, A BONUS SONG JAIMIE WROTE AND RECORDED ON HIS PHONE AS A JOKE FOR A FRIEND TURNED INTO A FUNNY ADD-ON AT THE END. IT’S A BREAK-UP ALBUM, BUT IT’S NOT. ALMOST MORE OF A RELATIONSHIP ALBUM THAN SAD OR FEELING SORRY OR LONGING FOR A LOVED ONE. AND NO REAL DESIRE TO MOVE ON AND FIND THE NEXT “ONE.” IT MIGHT JUST BE TOO LATE FOR THAT. AND THAT’S WHY THIS 5-SONG EP IS CALLED “NO HOPE OF FINDING LOVE.”
