Easy to Assemble is an unreleased studio album by British electronic dance music artist Chicane. The album would have been the third studio album in his main discography and the proper follow-up to 2000's Behind the Sun.

In 2002, Bracegirdle signed to WEA and had finished his third album, which was all set to be released in 2003. However, when review copies were sent out, the record label WEA was bought out by Edgar Bronfman Jr of Warner Music Group resulted in the A&R manager and music director who signed him leaving the company, and its release was put on hold while Bracegirdle negotiated an exit from his contract, and as soon as he extracted himself from his contract, he prepared to release the album independently. Unfortunately, the entire album was leaked online on several peer-to-peer sites and was pirated to such an extent that it was felt that it was not worth releasing it officially, which resulted in the commercial release of the album to be cancelled.

On 27 March 2000, Chicane released his second studio album Behind the Sun. It was a commercial success, reaching the Top 10 in the UK Albums Chart, and would go on to be certified Gold by BPI, selling over 100,000 copies. This would be the final studio released through his record label Xtravaganza as over the next two years, Bracegirdle became engaged in a lawsuit with Xtravaganza, which ended in Chicane's departure from the label and its signing with WEA for the release of a third album, Easy to Assemble. As a result of the law suit, Chicane lost the rights to the sound recordings from the "Behind The Sun" album (and its singles). Originally scheduled for 2003, the album's release was preceded by the lead single "Love on the Run", followed by a promotional single, "Locking Down". After promotional copies of the album were distributed, however, Easy to Assemble was not commercially released as expected—though over the following year, the official Chicane website was periodically updated with messages announcing further delays towards a still-expected release.
