Radiohead drummer Philip Selway has revealed some new details about his solo album, Familial, an August which is slated for 30 release in the U.K. "I've been playing guitar and writing songs since I was 15 but I started really thinking about making an album around four years ago," Selway tells Pitchfork."But I didn't know I'd sing on it; I didn't feel at that point I had a convincing voice," he adds. "It took four years of trial and error to find out the stretches I could make. It's a bit of a leap of faith."Selway will follow the release of Familial with a short British tour. He will act as the main support for Wilco."I am one of the more shadowy figures in Radiohead which is a great place to be," Selway adds. "As a drummer in a five piece, you can easily get bound up in this rather distasteful shout for attention but, in some ways, a drummer is there to do a job and doesn't actually need to speak."
