The Dwarves Are Young and Good Looking is an album released by Dwarves in March 1997, originally by Recess Records and then reissued by Epitaph Records and Theologian Records. It was the band's first album since 1993's Sugarfix, after which they were dropped by Sub Pop, and the liner notes include a 'modified' copy of the Sub Pop press release announcing the band's departure from the label. Charles Deppner of Ink19 described the album as "some real repugnant punk rock...some of their best burnt offerings skewered on the shish kebobs of hell". Adam Bregman of Allmusic gave the album a 4-star rating, describing it as "their most satisfying record" and "the beginning of a new Dwarves, no longer a freak show, fistfight-type outfit with shows that last 15 minutes, but one that plays real songs, had a set list, and left the club unbloodied".
