Radiohead’s Philip Selway has always been that guy in the back with the insanely good drumming skills, but August 31, he’ll be front and center with a guitar as he releases his first solo album, Familial. Selway participated in Neil Finn’s 7 Worlds Collide project, and joining him on the record will be Lisa Germano, Wilco’s Glenn Kotche and Pat Sansone, and Soul Coughing’s Sebastian Steinberg. The first song, “By Some Miracle” is available on Selway’s website right now with the seemingly now standard requirement of an email address. Selway will hit the road in August and September.
