The Fine Art of Self Destruction - 20th Anniversary Edition

Jesse Malin will be marking his 20th anniversary as a solo artist with a UK and European tour celebrating his acclaimed 2003 debut album, The Fine Art of Self Destruction. Jesse and his band will perform the album in its entirety, plus music from his latest album Sad and Beautiful World, and beyond. The Fine Art of Self Destruction will be reissued with a bonus disc of the entire album re-recorded and reimagined. A series of singles celebrating the album which started with Brooklyn (Walt Whitman in the Trash) on November 4th, and follows with Christmas single Xmas, etc. on November 18th. Produced by Ryan Adams and released in 2003, The Fine Art of Self Destruction wasnt named for drug or alcohol abuse, says Malin. It was more about a personal wreckage when I looked back on my life, from my parents' divorce to failed relationships, broken up bands, dropping out of school, crashing cars, breaking things. It was more of a spiritual journey in some sense.
