After recently being 'Nice Guys',
Easy Life have teamed up with London poet and singer Arlo Parks on new release 'Sangria'.
The track is shared via a new music video below, and will feature on their 'Junk Food Mixtape', out via Interscope Records on January 17 2020.
“'Easy Life' is about emotional dependency, and missing someone bitterly," say the band. "Even though sometimes the triggers that remind you of someone aren’t always healthy, these are often still the most potent and desirable. It’s a love song in its rawest form yet contains undertones of something slightly sinister. Arlo is able to express this delicate paradox with me and she is the only person I can imagine sharing this sentiment with so perfectly.”
Arlo adds: “I was a massive fan of the Easy Life boys – they had this groove and this energy that was really refreshing. We kept just missing each other at festivals and chatting over Instagram then Murray popped a demo over to me – as soon as I heard that hip-hop reminiscent beat with that buttery flow I was obsessed. At first I recorded my verse on this £30 mic I have in my bedroom – I wanted to convey that wistfulness of puppy love and the frustration of never having the person you’re obsessed with around. They’re such lovely boys and I feel blessed to be part of such a sentimental, cute tune.”
