On the release, founding vocalist and songwriter Chris Desjardins — better known as Chris D. — is backed by the legendary “all-star” edition of the band, originally heard on the 1981 set A Minute to Pray, A Second to Die: Dave Alvin (guitar) and Bill Bateman (drums) of the Blasters; John Doe (bass) and D.J. Bonebrake (marimba and percussion) of X; and Steve Berlin (saxophones) of the Plugz (and later the Blasters and Los Lobos). The album was produced collectively by the band members. On five of the album’s 11 tracks, this superpowered unit is joined by Julie Christensen, Desjardins’ vocal partner in both The Flesh Eaters’ successor band Divine Horsemen and latter-day editions of the original group. The singers were married during the ’80s. I Used to Be Pretty is bookended by a pair of dramatic new songs. Desjardins says of “Black Temptation,” the ferocious leadoff track, “I wanted to do that song for the Miss Muerte album in 2004, but we didn’t have time to work the music up.” “Ghost Cave Lament,” the sprawling 13-minute song that closes the album, was developed by Desjardins and Alvin before the recording sessions. This incantatory epic’s musical setting was inspired by “Moritas Moras,” an extended piece by flamenco guitarist Manitas de Plata. Six tracks on I Used to Be Pretty offer forceful reinterpretations of previously released Flesh Eaters songs. “The album certainly is a summation,” Desjardins says. “It incorporates some older material that this lineup never played on.” Artist Flesh Eaters, The Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Yep Roc Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Black Temptation House Amid The Thickets My Life To Live The Green Manalishi Miss Muerte The Youngest Profession Cinderella Pony Dress The Wedding Dice She’s Like Heroin To Me Ghost Cave Lament Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View L7 Hungry For Stink Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 4th September 2020 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders L7 Hungry For Stink £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2544 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ryan Bingham American Love Song Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Axster Bingham Records | 2LP Released 12th February 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ryan Bingham American Love Song £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Axster Bingham Records SKU: AB48271 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 12th February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Slang Cockroach In A Ghost Town Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Kill Rock Stars | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th August 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Slang Cockroach In A Ghost Town £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Kill Rock Stars SKU: LPKRS709LEC Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th August 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Twin Limb Haplo Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Suretone Records | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 23rd January 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Twin Limb Haplo £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Suretone Records SKU: 075597941319 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 23rd January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gymslips, The Rocking With The Renees Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Optic Nerve | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes 7" Released 18th November 2022 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gymslips, The Rocking With The Renees £27.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Optic Nerve SKU: OPT4047 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes 7" Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Milk Teeth Go Away Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Roadrunner Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th November 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Milk Teeth Go Away £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Roadrunner Records SKU: 0190295741693 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View CARSICK Drunk Hymns Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Alcopop | 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released 30th June 2023 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders CARSICK Drunk Hymns £18.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Alcopop SKU: ALCOPOP262X Formats: 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 30th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Vinnie Caruana Survivor’s Guilt Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Big Scary Monsters | 1LP Released 25th May 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Vinnie Caruana Survivor’s Guilt £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Big Scary Monsters SKU: BSM186V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View DIIV Oshin Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Captured Tracks | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th July 2012 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders DIIV Oshin £15.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Captured Tracks SKU: CT158LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th July 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rudimentary Peni Cacophony Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sealed Records | 1LP Released 27th January 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rudimentary Peni Cacophony £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sealed Records SKU: SEAL-020 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th January 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Start again
