Ed O’Brien with Radiohead headlining the first day of TRNSMT 2017 (Gary Mather / Live4ever)
Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien has launched his solo career under the monkier EOB with a single entitled Brasil.
O’Brien promised as much when writing on Facebook earlier this week as he detailed the inspiring time he spent in Brazil after touring with Radiohead back in 2012.
Going further after confirming a debut solo album is ready for release next year, O’Brien has said: “Brasil is a state of mind, not a place or time.”
“H.P. Lovecraft, Kubrick, and Junji Ito have created some of my favorite sci-fi narratives, but I’ve always wanted to reinterpret their horrific premises into a more poetic and optimistic notion.”
“What if an alien or higher being were to come to earth to help us achieve a greater existence, and not to destroy us? What would it look like if everyone on earth shared thoughts, experiences, and actions?”
