Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien’s first solo album Earth is a part of New Music Friday today – have a listen on Live4ever.
O’Brien launched his solo career back in December last year under the monkier EOB with a single entitled Brasil, a track sparked by the time he spent in the country after touring there with Radiohead in 2012. “Brasil is a state of mind, not a place or time,” he said.
“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?”
