Primary Mendoza Line songwriters Tim Bracy and Shannon McArdle have dissolved both their marriage and their musical collaboration. To, erm, celebrate, they will release the mini-album 30 Year Low on August 21 on LOW TRANSIT INDUSTRIES. In addition to the songwriting talents of the ex-couple, it features a Jimmy Silva cover and Okkervil River's Will Sheff duetting with McArdle on the Bracy-penned "Aspect of an Old Maid".
Upon its release, Low will come packaged with a second disc titled The Final Remarks of the Legendary Malcontent. Final Remarks is an odds and sods collection of sorts, featuring live tracks, demos, and covers of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Richard Thompson, and Arab Strap, among others.
The Mendoza Line have just two forthcoming shows scheduled, one tonight (May 24) in Boston and one tomorrow night in Providence. After wrapping things up as a band, McArdle will focus on other projects, and Bracy will continue on with the Mendoza Line.
