Philip Selway has released the title track of his upcoming solo album.
Following January's single Picking Up Pieces, the hypnotic Strange Dance delivers an ominous, psychedelic aesthetic that weaves through atmospheric strings and rattling percussion. The Radiohead drummer commented:
"Strange Dance had a very long gestation as a song. In its original form, it was the first piece from the album to be written, over 20 years ago. It was also the last song to be completed on the album, with the lyric taking shape in the final recording session. The strange dance I write about refers to the contortions we all perform as we try to balance seemingly irreconcilable elements of our lives, and the relationships that help us navigate this uncertainty."
The record is scheduled to arrive on February 24 via Bella Union, while Selway's previous solo LP came in the form of the 2017 soundtrack for the film Let Me Go. Radiohead's last record, meanwhile, was 2016's 'A Moon Shaped Pool'.
He'll accompany the release with several independent record store appearances for album signings. Head below for details.
