PHILIP SELWAY Familial (2010 UK 10-track CD album - 'Familial' is a
collection of sublimely fragile, haunting and heartfelt songs that will
surprise many, and not only because drummers traditionally don't do
this kind of thing. It is so persuasively good, it sounds like Selway has
always been a singer-songwriter. The seeds of Selway's solo album
were planted back in 2001 when Neil Finn organised an impromptu
gathering of talent, including Johnny Marr, Eddie Vedder, Lisa
Germano, former Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg and
Radiohead's Ed O'Brien and Selway, in aid of charity, which resulted in
the '7 Worlds Collide' album. Philip then invited Germano, Steinberg,
Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche and multi-instrumentalist Patrick
Sansone to come and make the record with him. Yet despite the rock
pedigree on show, 'Familial' is as far from a rock record as you'll get.
But neither are its ballads defined by folk, but something much wider
and more contemporary. Curiously, there's very little defined drums
on the record, with more percussive loops/textures. Sometimes the
beats and instrumental colours are so subtle, it sounds like the
acoustic air in the room is setting the mood. It leaves space for the
lyrics, which clearly come from the most intimate of places. Includes
the single 'By Some Miracle').
