Easy Life can’t be confined to one genre, every track on the album varies -from indie to pop to jazz. It’s this unique fluidity that makes the release of their album greatly anticipated. There is something for everyone. ‘life’s a beach‘ consists of 12 songs, including one interlude and features the single ‘ocean view‘.

In discussing the album with DORK frontman Murray Matravers said:

“the album is about wishing things were simpler, but also coming to terms with life and realising: ‘…but it’s okay!’”

Matravers also stated:

“It’s a celebration of all the things that are wrong with the world in a way which flips them around and says: Yeah, but isn’t it great that we’ve all got these similar issues that we can relate to one another with?”

It’s this accessible and relatable aspect of Easy Life’s music that makes their success as artists inevitable. Not only is the album perfect for summer, with  energetic hip-hop and references to the beach, but the lyrical narratives in the singles make the album something everyone can listen to. Although inspired by personal experiences, the lyrics are never confined to that, and instead Easy Life have created a positive spin on common experiences that aren’t necessarily positive.

Finding positivity in the negatives, and offering words of encouragement in amongst brilliant music – Easy Life’s ‘life’s a beach‘ is exactly what we need this summer and for the foreseeable future.
