The side project of
the Mendoza Line's
Shannon McArdle and Timothy Bracy,
Slow Dazzle shared the intimate songwriting of the duo's main band, but added a slightly harder-edged, rock-influenced spin to its sound. Inspired by singer/songwriter teams like
Richard and
Linda Thompson and
John Cale and
Nico,
Slow Dazzle recorded their debut,
The View From the Floor, in a New York City loft. After
The View From the Floor's release in spring 2005,
McArdle and Bracy toured that summer and began planning their second
Slow Dazzle album while gearing up for the release of that year's
Mendoza Line album. ~ Heather Phares
