Reflecting on how a “dark night of the soul” led to a daily practice of playing guitar without expectation, O’Brien explains how those raw moments became the foundation of the album’s songs, shaped further through collaboration with producer Paul Epworth. He also discusses the record’s deep connection to nature, the influence of writers like Wendell Berry, and how embracing rather than avoiding darkness led to something unexpectedly beautiful. Along the way, O’Brien looks back at Radiohead’s recent reunion tour, shares a story about the band’s very first gig in 1985, and considers how his solo work now sits alongside the “mothership” of the band, with both worlds continuing to evolve side by side.
