A message from Ed O'Brien:

I have a new solo album coming out on 22nd May. It is called Blue Morpho - pre-order here https://waste.lnk.to/bluemorphoFA.

It was co-written and produced with Paul Epworth and Riley MacIntyre, and mixed by Ben Baptie. Artwork by Robbie Simon. I'm so grateful for the extraordinary players who helped make it come alive - Philip Selway, Dave Okumu, Eska, Shabaka, Nick Ramm, Dan See, Crispin Spry Robinson, Yves Fernandez, Luke Mullen, and others. Musicians whose presence changes everything.

A single - also called Blue Morpho - is out today, with a video.

There's a short film too, shot in Wales, where much of the album was written, recorded and dreamt up. These songs came out of a dark place, but as Wendell Berry writes, 'the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.' There was deep beauty and a profound sense of grace in that place.

I'm pleased to announce that there will be screening events for the film held in London - 24th March, Paris - 25th March and Oxford - 26th March. Sign up to my mailing list https://waste.lnk.to/ed.signupFA for a chance to attend London or Paris. Tickets for Oxford on sale soon.

Later in the year, we will be playing these songs live. We would love to share them with you in a room somewhere out there.

Thank you.

With love and gratitude,

🙏 Ed
