Radiohead drummer Philip Selway has released Coming Up For Air, the first track from second solo album Weatherhouse.
The 10-track record is due on October 6 via Bella Union, and it’s described as featuring a “generally darker and fuller” sound than 2010’s Familial.
It’s a collaboration with his solo band colleagues Adem Ilhan and Quinta. Selway says: “From the outset we wanted the album to be the three of us, and we covered a lot of instruments between us. Different musicians stretch you; I felt stretched on Weatherhouse, but very enjoyably so.”
He adds of Coming Up For Air: “It’s very much about taking stock of my life – I wanted to convey a sense of release and affirmation. This was the first song we recorded. Immediately it felt in a very different space from Familial.”
The trio will deliver a run of collaborative shows with London’s Rambert Dance Company, starting this weekend.
