Easy life have released their much-anticipated debut album ‘life’s a beach’

easy life have released their much-anticipated debut album ‘life’s a beach’ on Island Records featuring their current Radio 1 A-listed single ‘skeletons’.

With this seminal release, easy life are forging a new path for UK bands on the world’s stage. A sun-kissed world of its own, it’s a record where (like the band themselves) there is often more than meets the eye. Observational, universal and deeply personal, the concept of ‘life’s a beach’ makes total sense, argues Murray, when you’re “from slap bang in the middle of the country, geographically as far from the nearest seaside as possible.” From its escapist, upbeat highs – the heady romanticism of lead single ‘skeletons’ – to embracing the lows (the rallying call for self-love, ‘a message to myself’), ‘life’s a beach’ is as much a love-letter to forgotten Britain as it is a reminder to find the silver lining even in the darkest of years. What shines through ultimately is not just easy life’s genre-less sound, but the optimism at the heart of their enormous appeal (captured aptly in album highlight, ‘have a great day’).

Since its announce, ‘life’s a beach’ has already been hailed "the quickest-selling album of the year" (Recordstore), with the group having performed everywhere from ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ to ‘Match Of the Day’ (in support of their hometown Leicester’s FA Cup triumph). With a top ten mixtape to their name – ‘Junk Food’ - and an NME Award (‘Best New British Act’) under their belt in 2020 alone, a band formed right down to their name itself as an escape – wherever you’re from, and from your inner demons – have stepped up at exactly the right time. ‘life’s a beach’, concludes front-man Murray, “wishes it was anywhere else but here, yet at the same time fixates on a dreary middle England existence.” As the UK braces itself for a return to the seaside, whatever the weather, ‘life’s a beach’ is easy life’s absolute moment in the sun. Go get it and join the fun.
