Radiohead's Solo Album Selway Discusses

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."

Radiohead speaks of new album

Currently, Phil Selway from Radiohead confirmed that their fresh album is still in the pipeline and songs are yet to be written. About his sorrowful folk album called Familial he also spoke largely. On August 31 the album is supposed to be out. He also says that his role in the band is a little shadowy and a little obscure.
His album promises to be an interesting stroll of Nick Drake kind folk tunes. The album would also have a host of guest spots filled by the likes of Lisa Germano and Wilco’s Glenn Kotche. Pat Sansone would also be one of the artists, who would appear a guest on the album. Reportedly, it’s been three years since the band ever released an album. Their last release was in 2007, with an album called In Rainbows. In Abingdon the band that was formed, Oxfordshire is expected to have a release as soon as they complete writing the songs.

Radiohead album faces more delays?

Radiohead drummer Phil Selway has admitted that the band's new album deadlines keep getting extended. The group's eighth LP was previously due for release this year. Selway told EW MusicMix: "It’s not finished yet. It’s still ongoing. We like where we are so far."The musician also refused to set a release date.He said: "Oh, I don’t know. We keep on hitting those points where you think, 'We're there'. And then you think, 'No, it’s not'. We're having a break from it at the moment… and then we’ll come back to it later in the summer and look where we are."
