He released the album’s first single “Check For Signs Of Life” in October 2022, alongside an enthralling one-take music video. A thrilling workpiece which encapsulates perfectly the whole essence of what the forthcoming album is meant to render. He, additionally, has just released a second single of the LP “Picking Up The Pieces” with its very own music video also, just as captivating and touching as the last, preparing us for the final album release on the 24th February.

Drawn up for the perfect release, on the run up to this date, Phillip began his tour around the UK on Monday, the 30th January in Norwich. He will be making his way through several different cities to finally wrap up in St Andrews, Scotland on the Sunday, 19th of February, days before the drop of his new sound.

The Radiohead member has allowed to reflect his past on Strange Dance and, embrace the fact that he has a certain age and wisdom to transmit through his music. In an interview with SPIN he says “There can be a temptation to mask the aging process in music or any kind of public-facing media. I think that can be a very limiting stance. You need to be confident in where you are.” Confirming a peace with where he stands, and his passion for dedicating time to writing songs as a solo artist.

Whilst Selway focused on his own path, other Radiohead members contributed to a newly formed band The Smile. A project which generated over lockdown, constituted by the members of the famous rock band, including Thom Yorke (vocals, guitar, bass, keys), Johnny Greenwood (guitar, bass, keys) as well as the drummer Tom Skinner. They stand mysteriously, allowing the listeners slowly into their whirlwind of experimental, Post-Punk, Progressive Rock and Electronic music through unforeseen revelations.

They first dropped six singles in early 2022 and proceeded to finally releasing their entire debut album A Light For Attracting Attention in May last year, followed by an international tour. The band has now announced a new live record release EUROPE: LIVE RECORDINGS 2022. A vinyl only, limited edition EP, containing live recordings of the publics favourite tunes throughout their first ever tour last year, available to buy on the 10th of March across record shops. Inevitably, the band also announced their upcoming tour around the US, kicking off this June to run through until the end of July in 2023.
