Easy Life

Hailing from Leicester, England, Easy Life are a fresh young band that flies the flag of genre-bending in a profoundly beautiful way. The evidence was clear across their first single, Pockets, which is this euphoric dance of instruments that meld in a way you wouldn’t expect. That ability to fuse sounds in a fun way is contrasted by the lyrics of frontman, Murray Matravers, who doesn’t shy away from depicting the nuances of mental health struggles that so many people can relate to.

I first met these guys at the 2019 edition of Boston Calling Music Festival and seeing their continuous rise has been glorious. Their debut album, Life’s A Beach, feels shockingly realized for a debut, and on today’s podcast, I chat with Murray about how that came to be. We also chat about bringing Maroon 5 to award shows, headlining Brixton Academy, and what it was actually like to progress as a band during a global pandemic.

Easy Life will be touring the states starting on April 8th at The Foundry in Philadelphia. I’ll definitely be at the Bowery Ballroom show on April 12th and I can’t wait to see these guys again. You’ll find full tour dates here, don’t miss out!
