(gentle upbeat music)
- (Jordan) Easy life actually started playing together
in the back end of 2017.
Before that Murray and Sam played together.
And then myself and Lewis played together from like
the age of 13.
- (Murray) Sometimes start with a lyrical idea or melody
sometimes chords, sometimes drums.
Every song's been different so far in terms
of where it starts.
- [All] Hey, we're Easy Life.
And this is our Fender Session.

- (Murray) Yeah, that was petty crime.
What can I say? It has the sort of the slap bass thing
that you you've got going.
- (Oliver) I definitely lose my mind in that one.
- (Sam) It's not on the album.
It came out during lockdown.
- Yeah.
- When Murray was going through his like stealing phase.
- (Oliver) So our approach to guitar and bass especially is
because we like to play multiple instruments,
we're constantly swapping.
So there's no idea as to who's gonna actually play it
on the day.
But we try and add as much excess
in the way that we record music.
Like we don't hold back with what we like to add.
So it makes it pretty interesting when we play it live.
(Instrumental)

- (Oliver) So that was Have A Great Day.
We've actually just released a music video for that.
One of our favorite songs to play live, I think.
'cause it's like the first real instance
of the brass getting involved and
its completely designed to make you have a good day.
- Playing to crowds again for the first time
is probably the biggest adrenaline rush I've had
in like the last 10 years.
- (Murray) We'd made that album at home
and played it to like no one.
So to go out
and be able to play it at the festivals was just
the greatest.
Lewis smashed his first ever guitar.
- (Lewis) Yeah.
- (Sam) It wasn't a Fender.
- It wasn't a Fender. It wasn't a Fender.
- No. Never.
- It fact he bought it
the night before just so we could smash it.
(laughing)

- (Murray) Ah, well that was Music To Walk Home To.
- (Sam) What a wild night.
- Crazy.
- Yeah what a wild night it's been.
That's the last track on our album and yeah, it's just
about trying to get from A to B,
trying to get home after a night out.
We just played it on tour
and couldn't remember the words.
It's the last one of our set and we've been on
for like an hour and a half.
The lads were like, you should write them
down and read them so
- You can go on for like
seven, eight minutes.
- We did a 12 minute
- I swear we did one that was like a 12 minute rendition
- 'cause it essentially just went on and on.
- We jam it out.
I, I don't have a set thing I play.
Oh yes pup.
Oh, they just let you go.
- Goes with the guitar.
