Song(s) of the Day # 3,314 Philip Selway

 

The Drummer's Tale. Part Two. Just a few weeks after Dave Rowntree's excellent Radio Songs showed there's more to him than the drum patterns on Blur records it's the bloke behind Radiohead's kit's turn.

Not quite so surprising this time. Philip Selway has made records before. His third album, Strange Dance, is exactly what it says on the tin. A lush, emotive waltz that is one part Pet Shop Boys, one part West End Musical.

Bolstered by collaborations with the likes of Adrian Uttley, Hannah Peel and Laura Moody pulls out the shots, leaving not a dry eye in the house. An impressive work indeed.
