The new album, 'life's a beach,' will be out June 4th.
Following the news of their much-anticipated debut album, life's a beach - coming out June 4 via Interscope Records, easy lifereturn today with the Andy Baker (known for his work on 'Rick & Morty', Adult Swim, and with artists such as Anderson .Paak)-directed official music video for the album's powerful opening track, "a message to myself."
"Murray shared 'a message to myself' whilst we were taking a break from other work," Andy Baker reveals, introducing the collaboration. "I already had a rough film idea which likened the feeling of burnout to experiencing the world with my head in a fishbowl, and it instantly felt like the two could work together as a music video. The track takes you on such an amazing emotional rollercoaster, I wanted the animation to match this and the positive feeling it leaves you with. We also wanted the film to talk about mental health in more open and realistic ways, as it was something I had been struggling with doing at the time. I hope this film can help, even in a tiny way, to remove some of the public stigma surrounding discussing mental health and to echo the sentiment of the song by sending a positive message of support to anyone who needs it right now."A band formed right down to the name itself as an escape, songs like "a message to myself" cement easy life's place in the world - as musicians, as young men, and as beacons of positivity. Or as Murray sums up their upcoming debut album - "it's a record that wishes it was anywhere else but here, yet at the same time fixates on a dreary middle England existence." There may be more rain on the way in their native Britain, but 'life's a beach' is easy life's absolute moment in the sun.
