Journeys In Sound

Available for 29 days

Ed O’Brien of Radiohead shares the pivotal moments that have made him the artist he is today. Talking to Nemone, who combines her roles of DJ and qualified psychotherapist, he dives deep to share his story and the songs that have moved him. The Radiohead guitarist tells Nemone how his latest solo album Blue Morpho was born out of a lockdown depression, and how deep breathing, cold water and advice from Thom Yorke aided his recovery. In this series Nemone also talks in depth to musicians Shy One, Max Cooper and Bonnie “Prince” Billy. If you need support with some of the issues in this programme visit bbc.co.uk/actionline.
