“My therapy was literally locking myself in a room for three hours in the morning”: Radiohead's Ed O'Brien on using guitar playing as therapy in the midst of depression

Ed O'Brien of Radiohead performs live on stage as 'EOB' during the second day of the BBC Radio 6 Music Festival at the Camden Roundhouse, on March 07, 2020 in London, England.

Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien has just announced his second solo album, Blue Morpho – a record that draws its primary inspiration from using the guitar as therapy in the midst of dark times.
