11. Ed O'Brien — Teachers
Ed O'Brien is the guitarist of Radiohead, born in Oxford in 1968. His first solo album Earth was released in 2020. Blue Morpho — his second — was released May 22, 2026 via Transgressive Records, produced by Paul Epworth and Riley MacIntyre and recorded in Wales and London after a period of depression. "Teachers" is track 4: trip-hop rhythm section, warped guitar, O'Brien's vocal processed through layers of effects. Cinematic and tense. 5:18 at 115 BPM.
Placement: Closes Segment 3. A Daily Music Report track separated from Car Seat Headrest by Oliver Elf Army. The trip-hop quality pulls the segment down before the show pivots into the history segment.
