As Lee tells Noisey, the song is focused on indifference and avarice, a punishing blast of hard-nosed post-punk that serves as\u00a0a\u00a0cutting rebuke to those who are, as the song&#8217;s lyrics put it, <em>&#8220;making\u00a0money off of war and institutional oppression.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;&#8216;Leisure Life&#8217; is a song about self-interest and people with a\u00a0bloated sense of entitlement&#8221;<\/em> she says.\u00a0&#8220;It&#8217;s about choosing the easiest route towards temporary personal gain and participating in behaviours that benefit you at the expense of others. From seeking validation through consumerism to having a warped sense of integrity under the guise of religion, it all comes down to apathy and greed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The band are currently on tour in support of the EP.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/04780c244c226dd8f0096243b\/images\/f573cf4d-eb93-4f3e-995e-924a512b2d9c.jpg?resize=247%2C247&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"247\" align=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5>Track list<\/h5>\n<p>1.
