The Last Little Life EP

The Last Little Life EP is the first collection of new material from The Rentals in more than 8 years, released August 14, 2007. It is also the first release to feature the current line-up of the band since the 2006 reunion. In addition to three brand new tracks, the EP also includes a new reworking of "Sweetness and Tenderness" originally from the group's 1995 debut Return of the Rentals. Their third full-length album is supposedly to follow, although its release date is unclear.

The title The Last Little Life comes from the first word of the three new songs on the album: "Last Romantic Day," "Little Bit of You in Everything," "Life Without a Brain."
