Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien released his second solo album, Blue Morpho, back in May. Today he’s sharing a song from those sessions that didn’t make it onto the tracklist. The engaging instrumental “Abbeycwmhir,” previously available only as the B-side on the “Blue Morpho” 7″ single, translates to “Abbey in the Long Valley.” It’s named after a village in the valley of the Nant Clywedog in Powys, Wales. When we spoke this spring, O’Brien told me about how much his mental and spiritual health has benefitted from the natural beauty in his adopted home of Wales. You can hear it in this track.
