Easy Life is a band that lives up to its name with all their easy, laid back, mellow grooves, seemingly care-free tone, and catchy songs that actually deal with angst in a variety of ways. So there is some ironic value to their name as well. Their music combines breezy summer pop with a slight touch of smooth pop jazz in terms of instrumentation. They write clear and accessible melodies with rich arrangements. Vocalist Murray Matravers also slides into a low stakes hip-hop mode every now and then, adopting a cadence between speak singing and rapping, all part of his usually casual style. The layer of quiet melancholy that works its way through the songs helps neutralize their overall tone to keep the sweetness in check.
