'Pockets' is the debut single from Easy Life. The Leicester five-piece - Murray (vocals), Sam (bass, sax), Lewis (guitar), Olly (drums) and Jordan (synths) - have arrived alongside news of their signing to the taste-making Chess Club Records, who are currently celebrating their 10th anniversary. The band describe the Jamie T-nodding track as a "93 BPM head-nodder born out of the need to give a middle finger to those people who don't believe in simplicity, and are only concerned with material wealth and all other vices that have made modern living that little bit less sweet. It essentially documents that terrible sinking feeling of realising you can't quite afford to pay this month's rent due to your own stupidity; an unsettling emotion that is unshakable, too familiar and hangs over us like a dead albatross." With a debut EP on the horizon for early next year, it's well-worth keeping an eye on these confident newcomers. -G.O'B
