Press To MECO release new music video for ‘Easy Life’
PRESS TO MECO have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Easy Life, is the brand new single from the UK three piece.
The new single was recorded and produced by Richard Craker [DAGNY, Liam Gallagher] and mixed by Shane Edwards [TROPHY EYES, THE LIBERTINES], Easy Life is the culmination of the PRESS TO MECO’s collective frustrations navigating the turbulent world of the music industry, while having the guts and artistic integrity to stick it out and stay true to yourself.
Speaking about the new single, the band says, “Easy Life was the first song we’d written after the Here’s To The Fatigue album, at a pretty low point for all of us. The song talks about becoming disillusioned with the dream you’re pursuing and second-guessing the path you’re on. I liked the idea of comparing the dream to a bad relationship which you know you should give up on, but can’t bring yourself to leave. Obviously, working in the music industry comes with a lot of self-doubt and stress about whether you’ll become successful or not. This song was a good opportunity to vent about this and describe how these feelings can get to you after some time. That being said, Easy Life is one of my favourite things we’ve written to date and serves as a good reminder of how fulfilling writing and performing your own music can be. We worked with our talented friend Richard Craker as the producer who we also worked with on the acoustic EP released earlier this year. It’s a great creative relationship we have with him and one we’re hoping to build on in the future.”
