Ed O’Brien – Blue Morpho (Black Vinyl) (PRE ORDER)

Description

Product Description

RELEASE DATE: 22ND MAY 2026

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 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.
