Ed O’Brien of Radiohead has unveiled, among other details, the title, track listing, release date, and cover art of Earth, his first album under the moniker of EOB. Earth will be released April 17th on Capitol Records and Polydor Records (UK) and consists of the following nine songs:

1. Shangri-La
2. Brasil
3. Deep Days
4. Long Time Coming
5. Mass
6. Banksters
7. Sail On
8. Olympik
9. Cloak of the Night

EOB’s first official single “Shangri-La” is now available. The song’s release was preceded by the non-album track “Santa Teresa” and the “shapeshifting epic” (Stereogum) “Brasil,” along with its accompanying sci-fi epic short film. As a special surprise for fans: Those who have already ordered the “Brasil” 12” will find “Shangri-La” as an unmarked hidden track.

Composed by O’Brien and produced by Flood (with the exception of “Olympik” which is co-produced by Flood and Catherine Marks), Earth features Ed on vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion and programming. Ed’s songs were brought to life on Earth by a diverse and stellar array of musicians including an appearance by O’Brien’s Radiohead bandmate Colin Greenwood, Portishead’s Adrian Utley, Wilco’s Glenn Kotche, drum legend Omar Hakim, masterful bass player Nathan East, Laura Marling, David Okumu of The Invisible, Adam ‘Cecil ‘ Bartlett, Richie Kennedy, Marcelo S. Silva, Flood and Catherine Marks. For a behind the scenes glimpse into the making of Earth, filmed by Bafic go to https://EOB.lnk.to/EarthTrailerPR.
