Chilled-out Leicester five-piece easy life have shared news of a November Olympia Theatre date ahead of their debut album release.

life's a beach features singles such as 'A Message To Myself', and expands on the vibey jazz-hop sound of earlier Easy Life releases which earned the outfit accolades and millions of streams.

The band will also perform in Dublin on November 22nd with tickets going on sale at 10am this Friday. The record includes standout previous singles ‘nightmares’, ‘daydreams’, and more future-classics from the Leicester five-piece.

The group amassed a huge live audience around the world with their unique brand of optimism, charting in the UK with their 'junk food' mixtape before landing a place on the BBC Sound of 2020 shortlist.

‘a message to myself’ is easy life’s most candid and cathartic moment to date. A symphonic essay on depression – and a rallying call for self-love – the band worked on the track alongside world-class producer BEKON, whose credits include Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN and BJ The Chicago Kid’s In My Mind.

One of modern pop’s more unsuspecting stars, ‘a message to myself’, says easy life front-man Murray, “is a reminder to keep doing you. It’s a celebration of individualism at all costs. Be yourself, nobody can do you better.”

Over the last few years, the group have paved their own way via a catalogue bursting with introspective, escapist, outsider-anthems. Their effortlessly accomplished mixtapes – ‘creature habits’, ‘spaceships’, and ‘junk food’ (which featured their only duet to date, Arlo Parks) – have led the rascal band of brothers to debut album, life’s a beach: a title that makes total sense, argues Murray, when you’re “from slap bang in the middle of the country, geographically as far from the nearest seaside as possible.”

Observational, universal and deeply personal, this rounded study of forgotten Britain is the record easy life have spent their young lives working towards. The fact they’re set to release their debut album as the UK enjoys – hopefully – a safe return to the beach seems oddly fitting amidst their unpredictable rise.

Murray sums up their upcoming debut album as "a record that wishes it was anywhere else but here, yet at the same time fixates on a dreary middle England existence.”

Easy Life play The Olympia Theatre on 22 November 2021. Tickets from €27.90 on sale this Friday, April 9th at 10am from Ticketmaster.ie.
