    We've got Murray from easy life on the pod! The UK five-piece, who make alternative music that blends hip-hop, bedroom pop, indie, and everything in between, are celebrating today as they release their brilliant second record Maybe In Another Life. This record sees them expand their sonic palette and bring in guests such as Gus Dapperton, BENEE and Kevin Abstract. In today's episode, we're speaking with frontman Murray Matravers about how the recording process for this record differed from the first, songwriting with a sense of humour, collaborating over Zoom, and the Kevin Abstract / Glastonbury mishap.
