The second single and second track from Blue Rev, Alvvays' third album, released on 10 August 2022; the album followed on 7 October 2022 and was recorded with producer Shawn Everett in Los Angeles, with the band playing the whole record front to back twice in one day. The track uses audio feedback, distortion and the glide guitar technique, with Molly Rankin's vocals low in the mix, and Paste compared it to My Bloody Valentine. The sources available here don't name the guitars or amps, so the rig is a suggestion. Use a fuzzy, wall-of-sound tone from a bridge-pickup offset with a heavily driven amp, and bend or slide chords with the tremolo arm. No transcription could be checked, so no tuning is given.

Can I play "Easy on Your Own?" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Easy on Your Own?" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
What effects are on "Easy on Your Own?"?
The recording has distortion and audio feedback on it. No source names the unit behind them, so this page doesn't guess one. ToneMirror maps each effect onto your rig - a pedal you own, your amp's own controls, or a block on a modeler - and says plainly when your rig can't make one.
