While he prefers to sit in the back quietly during performances with Radiohead, Phil Selway will have to step into the spotlight a bit with his upcoming solo album. Trading a guitar for his drum sticks, Selway is releasing “Familial” on August 30th on Bella Union’s label. This album feature Selway primarily on guitar and vocals, with Wilco’s Glenn Kotche handling the drums. Also joining Selway are Wilco’s Pat Sansone, singer-songwriter Lisa Germano, and former Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg.
Since announcing the album, Selway has released four separate songs off the album for fans to preview, which is somewhat unheard of.

'By Some Miracle'
'Beyond Reason'
'A Simple Life'
