Ed O’Brien’s second solo album Blue Morpho marks a defining moment – it’s his first record to appear under his own name, instead of his EOB moniker. Best known for his work with Radiohead, O’Brien says the shift reflects a deeper personal change.
“I’m not hiding any more,” he explains. “I was hiding behind a doppelgänger called EOB. I had huge insecurities. Coming from Radiohead, knowing I’d be compared to Thom Yorke or Jonny Greenwood, I felt like, ‘Who am I?’
