Listen: Four tracks from Phil Selway's solo album

Radiohead's Phil Selway releases his debut album through Bella Union very soon indeed. If you can't wait that long, and would perhaps like a taster of what he's got in store for you, then you'll be pleased with the news that four of the album's tracks are available for you to listen to. Neat stuff.

Think of it as an album sampler, because that's what it is. It contains three additional tracks to the already released single 'By Some Miracle'. Listen to it below, ennit. As usual, via SoundCloud.

Uncomfortable

It's not too bad. Reminds me a little of that Ian Broudie solo album that came out a few years ago. The trouble is, there's something slightly unsettling about it, purely because of who he is. It's like listening to an album your dad has just recorded. I'm sure if I wasn't such a big fan of Radiohead for so many years, I'd come to it with a slightly different perspective.

@uncomfortable

I agree, it's weird because neither Thom's solo work or Jonny's soundtracks felt like that - maybe he just seems like more of a dad or uncle kind of person? Or it might be because it sounds nothing like Radiohead wheras the other two's did a bit.
