Off of Radiohead Ed O'Brien's 'Blue Morpho' is a radiant and rich album album of sweepign strings, pastoral psych folk, jazz and tip hop meditations. 

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.
