As It Is Share Vital New Track 'Live, Laugh, Love, Los Angeles'

As It Is have shared a new track from their upcoming self-titled album that at one point wasn’t even going to play part in it, but now feels incredibly necessary.

Titled ‘Live, Laugh, Love, Los Angeles’, it sees the band diving into another sonic pool you can tell they have been dying to soak in, with plenty of Bruce Springsteen & E-Street Band worship injected into its bright and breezy disposition. Though peel back the layers and you have a song that is full of concern for the way things are heading currently, especially when it includes the streets of America. The juxtaposition is incredibly powerful and showcases how even though the band’s recent output face more inwards, that doesn’t mean they aren’t paying attention to what’s going on outside their front door.

The band had this to say about the song and the sentiment:

“We weren’t planning on releasing another single before the album. In fact, this song wasn’t even on the original tracklisting. But, during album tracking in January 2026, the news and our social fees were flooded by the ICE raids across the USA. Multiple murders by ICE agents in Patty’s home state of Minnesota and almost one mass shooting per day. We watched the USA descend into violence whilst the ‘Rich Televangelist’ at the top stoked the fires further. The song was about Patty’s relationship with America and being an American in the current political climate, but with that added real world context it suddenly became even more urgent and essential, not only to the album but to the album campaign. As tensions continue to rise and the global resurgence of the far right continues, we felt that this song, its message and the video deserved their moment to be seen, heard and felt. Fuck Fascism.”

‘As It Is’ is set for release on July 17 via FLG.
