easy life play a Sofa Session for Jo, including music from their debut album, life鈥檚 a beach.
easy life鈥檚 debut album, 鈥榣ife鈥檚 a beach鈥, has a title that makes total sense, argues easy life front-man Murray, when you鈥檙e 鈥渇rom slap bang in the middle of the country, geographically as far from the nearest seaside as possible.鈥 The beach of 鈥榣ife鈥檚 a beach鈥 is not, then, a Caribbean hideaway. It鈥檚 Margate and Morecombe, the postcard imagery of Martin Parr, the swimming pool of Sexy Beast.
A band formed right down to the name itself as an escape (wherever you鈥檙e from, or from your inner demons), songs like 鈥榓 message to myself鈥 cement easy life鈥檚 place in the world - as musicians, as young men, and as beacons of positivity. Or as Murray sums up their upcoming debut album - 鈥渋t鈥檚 a record that wishes it was anywhere else but here, yet at the same time fixates on a dreary middle England existence.鈥
鈥榣ife鈥檚 a beach鈥 follows easy life鈥檚 accomplished mixtapes 鈥 鈥榗reature habits鈥, 鈥榮paceships鈥, and 鈥榡unk food鈥 (which charted in the top 10 and featured their only duet to date, Arlo Parks). The Leicester five-piece won 鈥楤est New British Act鈥 at the 2020 NME Awards, and have amassed a huge live audience around the world with their unique brand of optimism.
