easy life return today with a brand new track, "have a great day," which is available now on Interscope Records. The new track is just the latest preview of their highly-anticipated debut album 'life's a beach', which is now confirmed for release on May 28.
Listen to "have a great day" below. "have a great day" is a picture-postcard of easy life, from their genre-less sound to frontman Murray Matravers' signature, deft lyricism. Summoning both a 60s Hawaiian lounge and a much needed seaside break from the tumultuous past year and a half, "have a great day" encapsulates not just the title of 'life's a beach' (see its opening lyrics) but the optimism and tenderness at the heart of easy life's enormous appeal. The album highlight - says Murray himself - "stems from my need / desire to always see the positives in every possible situation. There is always a silver lining. The song fantasises over a romantic weekend getaway and concludes joyfully that I had a great time. There's a hint of sadness behind the song as it feels, like all good things, the story will be short lived and fleeting. nonetheless, for the time being at least, we are at the beach sipping our favourite drink and everything else doesn't matter one little bit."A band formed right down to the name itself as an escape, songs like "skeletons" and "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.
"have a great day" is out now. Listen to the new track here: easy life's debut album, 'life's a beach' will be released May 28.Videos
