Introducing "Easy," the latest single from multi-instrumentalist Ryan O'Connell, who plays guitar, bass, drums, keys, and handles vocals. Recorded at Glow Studios in Athens, Georgia, and co-produced with Jesse Mangum, "Easy" captures the carefree spirit of slacker rock with a dash of 90s indie charm.
O'Connell's main influences—Kurt Vile, Silver Jews, Pavement, Beck, Frank Black, and Neil Young—merge in a laid-back track that's perfect for chilling out. In true DIY fashion, Ryan O'Connell brings every instrument to life, creating a nostalgic and refreshingly original sound.
The ethos behind "Easy"? Don't take yourself too seriously. Inspired by indie and slacker rock, the song explores themes of self-discovery, sandwiches, and binge-worthy TV shows. As O'Connell puts it: "'Easy' is the kind of song that feels like David Letterman on a casual Friday: relaxed, a little quirky, and totally at ease with itself. It's like musical therapy for when you're trying to find yourself without needing a GPS or a therapist on speed dial."
