In addition to being the drummer of Radiohead and an Icon of Rock, Phil Selway is also Phil Selway, the solo artist. As you may know, the acclaimed musician spent the early portion of 2010 touring the European, road testing material for his forthcoming solo debut. On August 30th, Selway will unveil the end result when he releases the 10-track Familial via Bella Union.
According to NME, the record was produced by Radiohead collaborator Ian Davenport, recorded at the band’s Oxfordshire Courtyard Studios, and features the talents of Lisa Germano, former Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg, Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche, and multi-instrumentalist Patrick Sansone.
In support of the release, Selway will appear at several UK summer festivals, including Electric Picnic, Bestival, and End of the Road.
