biographical info
Easy Life Club is about irony. The songs are explorations in the tensions we all live between, observations of a life that seems to find the deadly serious alongside the simply peculiar. Loud or soft, screaming or whispering, love or hate; they aren't so far apart. These are the storylines that weave together the songs of Easy Life Club.
"Some of the songs on the first record are going to be years old, while others were written during the recording process. Its going to feel like a hybrid on many levels", says glenroy, songwriter and creative force behind ELC. "There were a lot of things happening to bring this project together, and some of the best things haven't been fully explored yet. We're already looking at the next album as a better benchmark of what we dream of. There are so many songs to be written."
ELC has worked hard to avoid the narrow trappings of many rookie projects. Glenroy expounds, "Trying to stay creative isn't about looking over your shoulder. Being fresh isn't about tapping into whatever is cool right now. It's about taking the things that influence you and struggling with your hands and your voice to make something new and beautiful out of it all. It's about looking ahead. We're trying to keep our options open creatively. Writing songs in your basement on your acoustic guitar can trap you fast. We could have made an alt-country album or a folk-rock or whatever. ELC will always be about the expanding sound."
