"Don't Call Me Darling" comes from Cerebral Caustic, the Fall's 1995 album on Permanent Records and the English post-punk group's seventeenth studio set, and it carries the fingerprints of a returning prodigal. Guitarist Brix Smith had quit in 1989, came back for live shows in 1994, and worked out a deal with her ex-husband Mark E. Smith: she'd stay in Los Angeles and fly over whenever the band needed her on stage or in the studio.
She made her presence felt fast, co-writing five of the album's songs, this one among them. The music credit here goes to Brix, Craig Scanlon and Mark E. Smith, while Mark E. Smith wrote the words alone.
