Ed O'Brien, the acclaimed guitarist and singer-songwriter best known for his time with Radiohead, announces »Blue Morpho«, his captivating second solo album and the first under his own name. Named after the iridescent butterfly, »Blue Morpho« was created during lockdown and recorded at The Church Studio in London and at Seven Sound in Wales. The tranquil Welsh landscape proved to be inspiring, providing a sense of reflection, healing and acceptance. Musically, the album combines a collage of hypnotic psych-folk, jazz, trip-hop, radiant guitars and rhythm sections. "Blue Morpho" marks a new and deeply personal chapter in O'Brien's musical journey. It was produced by Paul Epworth (Adele, Coldplay), with additional production by Riley MacIntyre (Ezra Collective), and mixed by Ben Baptie (Sault, Little Simz). The album features a number of musicians, including Shabaka Hutchings (flute), Dave Okumu (guitars, bass), Philip Selway (drums) and the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra.
