easy life share FINNEAS-produced track "Trust Exercises" as the final release under their name

Following two instantly-sold-out farewell shows at London's KOKO, and a farewell hometown date at Leicester’s O2 Academy, easy life have shared the final song under their moniker.

Produced alongside FINNEAS and previewed with unexpected poignancy on their headline UK tour earlier this year, "Trust Exercises" is in many ways a full-circle moment for easy life. It is one of their oldest and most cherished songs, inspired by surrounding yourself with good people and treating others with respect. Time-sensitive in release but timeless in musicality, "Trust Exercises" closes one chapter for the Leicester group.

Earlier this month, easy life took to their socials to open up about being sued by EasyJet’s holding company EasyGroup.

“okay… never imagined having to do this but we’ve no choice but to address the situation we find ourselves in. as some of you have already discovered, we are being sued, easy jet are suing us for being called easy life," they wrote. “they’re forcing us to change our name or take up a costly legal battle which we could never afford. we’ve worked hard to establish our brand i’m certain in no way have we ever affected their business."

In a longer statement posted on their website, the band shared that they have no choice but to change their name going forward. "Sadly, it seems that justice is only available to those who can afford it. We simply don’t have the funds to access a fair trial in the high court. Not to mention the fact that this would likely rattle on through to 2025, and with this hanging over us we wouldn’t be able to release any music in the meantime. Our careers, and indeed our lives, would be on hold," they said.

If they were to have gone ahead with the trial, because they're not a nameless company, the outcome would be life-changing if they weren't able to win the lawsuit: "This means that should we lose, the costs will be recouped from us personally. They could take everything; material possessions, our livelihoods, our homes."

Ahead of their final shows, and the release of "Trust Exercises" they added: "Even though we aren’t able to fight this, we now need to go into a period of legal mediation with Easy Group about what happens next. We’re really hoping they might be gracious about this, and we are hopeful for the opportunity to finally put out the song we know you’ve been wanting for years. Still not as we’d imagined, but it’s a song for you guys and we want you to have it."
