The latest episode in Greg Barth's ongoing collaboration with Easy Life is the&nbsp;whimsical video for Have A Great Day - and takes us back to the summertime and the English seaside.This one was inspired by the photography of Martin Parr, and shot on a windy day in Broadstairs, it transforms&nbsp;a typical British day at the beach into a slightly surreal experience.&nbsp;The video experiments with cyclical camera movements and a postcard gag,&nbsp;resetting the scene after each cycle. The characters get progressively messier - both in the literal and figurative meaning of the word - as they throw ice creams, start play-fighting and falling over themselves.&nbsp;The inspired blend of visual effects and live action creates a mesmerising aesthetic. Playful, characterful, and on the verge of chaotic - just like a day at the seaside. And its very Easy Life.&nbsp;

Easy Life 'Have A Great Day' by Greg Barth

Easy-Life-'Have-A-Great-Day'-by-Greg-Barth

Greg Barth's latest collaboration with Leicester indie-R&amp;Bers Easy Life takes its cue from their excellent previous work - and one video in particular - and the cover of their just-released debut album&nbsp;Life's A Beach.As always frontman Murray Matravers takes centre stage, in a fantastical scenario where his bandmates paly supporting roles - both to Murray and his giant goldfish friend.&nbsp;As Greg explains below, its a surreal sequel of sorts to the animated <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Db_Gf9z8jk" target="_blank">Message To Myself</a> video. It's also the latest in an extensive body of Easy Life work over the past couple of years by the Swiss-born and London-based director, from the video for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dQnXExTp2w" target="_blank">Nightmares</a> (featuring Jamie Demetriou of Stath Lets Flats) to the recent Gondryesque <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87U_l3AvyX0" target="_blank">Skeletons</a>. The work has been consistently inventive and entertaining, and this is certainly the case here.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;

Easy Life 'Ocean View' by Greg Barth

Easy-Life-'Ocean-View'-by-Greg-Barth

Greg Barth explores the irony of growing up in the modern world, in his&nbsp;spectacular video for Purple Disco Machine's Fireworks.&nbsp;Depicted as a dance battle between Gen Z and a group of Boomers, the video alludes to many crises that face the human race today; climate change, the use of fossil fuels and overconsumption&nbsp;being just a few examples.&nbsp;And whilst the Gen Z pack start off with their own minds, fighting against these injustices, they are soon twisted and distorted into an older way of thinking - leaving a planet in the midst of destruction, exploding and crumbling as the glossy dance number comes to its crescendo.&nbsp;Thought-provoking work with an accessible and unique twist.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Greg Barth's has smuggled&nbsp;humour&nbsp;and satire into his bright and colourful pop videos for Easy Life, and this one for Nice Guys is their wildest&nbsp;and zaniest collaboration yet.&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;band are the guest performers on a bizarre TV talk show - where the audience are whipped up by a host who is akin to a cult leader - that's disrupted by a Trumpalike and descends into mayhem. It's crazy - while the band manage to keep their cool, led by affably charismatic frontman Murray. Just don't say it couldn't happen.&nbsp;

Easy Life 'Nice Guys' by Greg Barth

Easy-Life-'Nice-Guys'-by-Greg-Barth

Murray from Easy Life and his friend take to their bed for a mammoth lie-in - a bit like&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bed-Ins_for_Peace" target="_blank">John and Yoko&#39;s</a> but more private&nbsp;- in Greg Barth&#39;s video for the groovesome Sunday.It&#39;s a charming piece which follows up Barth&#39;s first Easy Life video for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dQnXExTp2w" target="_blank">Nightmares</a>, and it would be fair to&nbsp;describe it as very pink and increasingly hairy.
