Recorded and Co-Produced by drummer Dan Joeright, The Last Little Life EP consisted of three brand new tracks, as well as a new reworking of "Sweetness and Tenderness" originally from the group's 1995 debut Return of the Rentals.

"The new record is a collaboration between myself, Nick Zinner and Dave Fridmann with a little help from a makeshift choir of incredible singers that I affectionately like to refer to as The Gentle Assassins."
