Blue Morpho (CD)
Ed O'Brien
Amoeba Review
Ed O'Brien's Blue Morpho is sweeping, vivid, and full of life. The Radiohead guitarist's solo project blends ambient, electronic, indie, and folk sounds. Snatches of birdsong bring delicate beauty and poignancy, orchestral strings create sweeping emotional crescendos. The album came into being as O'Brien was deep in the throes of depression; it takes inspiration from the Welsh countryside, athlete and motivational speaker Wim Hof, and O'Brien's own journey of healing. The tone of the album is sincere and solemn at times; at others it feels reverent and awestruck in its regard for the planet, for the human experience, and the wonders of the universe. A dazzling album.
