When Jesse Malin met producer Ted Hutt (Lucero, Flogging Molly, The Gaslight Anthem) one drunken night at a local bar, their talk of making a record fast, loose, and raw, was the beginning of Hutt s quest to create a record that would encompass Malin s roots and evolution from hardcore thrasher to punk/folk singer-songwriter. The album s basic tracks were laid in three days at Greenpoint, Brooklyn s Mission Studios, and the rest at Sonic Youth s Think Tank Studios in Hoboken, NJ. Filled with the characters Malin does best messengers and misanthropes, hipsters and hypocrites and as always, his constant themes of redemption, nightlife, heartbreak, and survival, LOVE IT TO LIFE a sentiment taken from a ticket stub Joe Strummer autographed for Jesse was built with desperate optimism that shouts in gang vocals that no matter how bad it gets, you re never alone.

The Fine Art of Self-Destruction features 12 original songs written and sung by Malin (ex-D Generation). Ryan Adams (Whiskeytown) contributes guitar and vocals on almost every track and Melissa Auf der Maur (Hole, Smashing Pumpkins) contributes background vocals. The album was released on October 22 in the UK where is has already garnered critical acclaim in Q (4 *'s), NME, Mojo and Uncut (album of the month for November), among others. The London Saturday Times said, "(Ryan) has turned producer on a spectacular debut by his New York friend and neighbor, Jesse Malin. Adams reckons that Malin is a 'genius'. Adam Duritz of Counting Crows says that this is the best album he has heard all year. Believe the hype. Malin writes vivid songs with killer tunes and sings them with scary conviction. There is simply nothing more than you could demand from a great rock record. Buy it. 5 out of 5 *'s."

14 tracks, chiefly solid-gold cover songs. Saw cut into title spine just 'nicks' art.

A raw, modern record of thirteen stellar songs that feels like a celebration of life. Jesse writes about struggles and smiles; about finding ways to "keep on keeping on" with the lyrically intimate slice of life and detail he's known for, while covering a larger palate to connect with people in every part of the world. He conveys happiness and sadness in the same note, using both electric guitars and acoustics, modern keyboards and acoustic piano, power driven drums and happy jangly percussions with driving bass lines and big voice choruses, thus defining the ebb and flow of "Glitter In The Gutter". An energetic, infused, moving record with defiant and exuberant spirit.
