Ed O'Brien - Blue Morpho (CD) Ed O'Brien
Ed O'Brien, the acclaimed guitarist and singer-songwriter known for his role in Radiohead, announces Blue Morpho, his absorbing second solo album and first under his own name.
Named for the iridescent butterfly, Blue Morpho was written during lockdown and recorded at The Church Studio, London and Seven Sound in Wales. The tranquil Welsh countryside proved inspirational, capturing a sense of reflection, healing, and acceptance. Musically, the album blends a collage of hypnotic psych-folk, jazz, trip-hop, radiant guitars and rhythm sections. Blue Morpho marks a fresh and deeply personal chapter in O'Brien's musical journey.
Produced by Paul Epworth (Adele, Coldplay), with additional production from Riley MacIntyre (Ezra Collective), and mixed by Ben Baptie (Sault, Little Simz). The album features an array of musicians, such as Shabaka Hutchings (flute), Dave Okumu (guitars, bass), Philip Selway (drums), and The Tallinn Chamber Orchestra.
Interviews confirmed with The Guardian (Honest playlist), i Paper, Huck, NME and The New Cue. Album reviews confirmed in Record Collector (lead review, q&a completed), MOJO, Uncut, Classic Pop, Hi-Fi News & Record Review, Joyzine, Topnote Magazine, Buzz Magazine, and Wall Of Sound.
