Description

Indie Exclusive

Ed O'Brien, the acclaimed guitarist and singer-songwriter known for his role with Radiohead, announces Blue Morpho, his compelling second solo album and the first under his own name.

Named after the iridescent butterfly, Blue Morpho was written during lockdown and recorded at The Church Studio in London and Seven Sound in Wales. The tranquil Welsh countryside proved to be a source of inspiration and exudes an atmosphere of reflection, healing, and acceptance. Musically, the album is a collage of hypnotic psych-folk, jazz, trip-hop, radiant guitars, and rhythm sections. Blue Morpho marks a fresh and very personal chapter in O'Brien's musical journey.

Produced by Paul Epworth (Adele, Coldplay), with additional production by Riley MacIntyre (Ezra Collective), and mixed by Ben Baptie (Sault, Little Simz). A variety of musicians can be heard on the album, such as Shabaka Hutchings (flute), Dave Okumu (guitars, bass), Philip Selway (drums), and the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra.
