New York, NY (Top40 Charts) easy life have shared the final preview of their upcoming album with its beautiful closing track, "FORTUNE COOKIE".
Unguarded, affecting but deeply positive, "FORTUNE COOKIE" sums up the message of easy life's second album - and showcases just how far they've come, as musicians and young men. Recalling the stripped-back piano balladry of Randy Newman, it's (as Murray sings) a reminder that "if you believe you're in need of repair…take care": dedicated to any friend, family or band member who needs to hear just that.
MAYBE IN ANOTHER LIFE… will see a release on Island Records/Universal Music, on Friday (October 7th), amidst a flurry of activity for the trailblazing group: easy life recently announced a huge UK, European and North American headline tour for 2023, including their biggest ever dates at London's
Alexandra Palace and Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena, with an intimate launch party taking place tomorrow at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, and a sold-out record store tour making its way across the UK right now.
An immersive and ambitious project in sound and storytelling, MAYBE IN ANOTHER LIFE… takes the one-of-a-kind British band to a whole new level. The album was introduced by a stellar run of singles - "BEESWAX", "DEAR MISS HOLLOWAY", "OTT" and "ANTIFREEZE", and it includes features from BROCKHAMPTON's
Kevin Abstract (who joined the group on their Glasto Pyramid Stage debut), Kiwi alt-pop superstar BENEE, and her "
Supalonely" collaborator Gus Dapperton.
MAYBE IN ANOTHER LIFE… is an album of silver linings and making sense of the world. In both its chaotic and melancholic moments, Murray's world-class production sees easy life scale new creative heights: influences range from the manic hip-hop energy of Odd
Future to the 70s nostalgia of Elton John, with a colourful visual palette as inspired by classic Disney animation as it is the dreamlike art nouveau of Wes Anderson. If debut album life's a beach was easy life sunny-side-up - a rounded, realist study of Middle England - it's on the lockdown make-believe of MAYBE IN ANOTHER LIFE… that Murray's shank-sharp observations about modern British life hit hardest. What's emerged is an expertly-realized vision of masculinity, which encourages us - via straight-talking, or exuberant world-building - to find joy in the journey, not just the destination. And with 2 top 10 projects and tens of thousands of worldwide tickets under their belts already, easy life's own incredible journey continues…
