Pretty Music for Pretty People is the tenth studio album by the Dead Milkmen, released in 2014.[4][5] It is their second studio album since reuniting in 2008.[6]

The album includes the four limited-release singles that followed 2011's The King in Yellow: ("Dark Clouds Gather Over Middlemarch", "Big Words Make the Baby Jesus Cry", "The Great Boston Molasses Flood", and "Welcome to Undertown"), and most of the b-sides from those singles, which first appeared in 2012 and 2013, in addition to previously unreleased songs.[4]

It was released on CD on the Quid Ergo Records imprint, and digitally by the band on their website on October 7, 2014. A limited edition LP with the title Pretty Music For Pretty Special People was also released by Quid Ergo, containing only the previously unreleased songs, plus the "C-Sides" from the singles which had until then only been available digitally.[7]
