Life’s a Beach is the debut studio album by British band Easy Life, released on May 28, 2021. Known for their eclectic mix of genres, Easy Life blends indie pop, hip hop, jazz, and R&B into an effortless, sun-soaked sound that perfectly matches the carefree title of the album. The album captures both the highs and lows of modern life, mixing upbeat, summery vibes with reflective lyrics that touch on deeper themes of anxiety, self-doubt, and longing.

Life’s a Beach delivers a laid-back atmosphere, full of lush, breezy instrumentation and catchy hooks, but with a thematic undercurrent that explores the complexities of life. The title nods to both the easy-going, carefree side of life and the more difficult, reflective moments. Themes of escapism, emotional vulnerability, and existential reflection run throughout the album, alongside the band’s usual playful, genre-bending approach.

The songs feature a mix of warm synths, jazzy horns, groovy basslines, and frontman Murray Matravers’ conversational, often introspective lyrics. It's an album that contrasts sunshine-filled optimism with the struggles of modern life, making for an interesting juxtaposition.
