An Evening with Ed O'Brien - Blue Morpho

An Evening with Ed O'Brien - Blue Morpho at Barbican Centre, London

About the show

The renowned Radiohead guitarist unveils his new record, performed alongside a collective of musicians.

Blue Morpho finds O’Brien beginning anew. With its moments of hypnotic psych-folk, radiant guitars, beguiling trip-hop and luminous stillness, it reveals an artist moving beyond familiar structures.

The Blue Morpho live experience brings together a collective of musicians who performed on the album’s recording sessions, including musical director David Okumu. Rather than simply recreating the record in its studio form, the live show is conceived as a fluid and immersive experience - a celebration of the music, which will evolve and take on a life of its own.

Led by O’Brien as the central figure, the band draws inspiration from the expansive, exploratory spirit of artists such as Sly and the Family Stone, Miles Davis and Phish.
