Phil Selway says Radiohead's new album is not finished

Phil Selway, Radiohead's drummer, says the band's eighth album is not finished, and that they have put it aside until later in the summer while he promotes Familial, his first solo album, out at the end of August. Asked by Simon Vozick-Levinson of Entertainment Weekly on 19 July whether it could still come out this year, he would not commit. We keep on hitting those points where you think, 'We're there.' And then [later] you think, 'No, it's not.'³

A month ago, on 20 June, Ed O'Brien told BBC 6 Music the album was a few weeks from finished and could be out by the end of the year.

Selway calls the latest sessions very productive and creative, but would rather not sum them up until the record is done, since only then does it become clear what went on. After the break the band will go back to it and see where it stands. We like where we are so far³, he says.
