Radiohead drummer Phil Selway stepped out from behind the skins for a string of live dates earlier this year, debuting new acoustic guitar-backed material from his forthcoming solo debut. Plenty of grainy YouTube footage soon followed, of course, but details on his first full-length solo effort remained scant… until today. As NME reports, Selway’s record is titled Familial and will drop on August 30 (presumably on the 31st stateside).
As with many a solo artist hailing from one of the biggest bands in the world, Selway recruited some notable contributors to back his mellow tunes (Dare I say, there’s even a bit of Elliott Smith in his voice?), including Wilco’s Glenn Kotche and Pat Sansone, ex-Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg, and Lisa Germano.
