Phil Selway drums on Lanterns On The Lake's new album

Lanterns On The Lake have announced Versions Of Us, their fifth album, due on 2 June through Bella Union, and Phil Selway plays the drums and percussion on it. The news comes a week after his own Strange Dance came out. The first single is the album's opening track, “The Likes Of Us”. He came in after the English band had thrown away a year's work on the record and their drummer, Ol Ketteringham, had left on good terms.

Philip brought an energy to the songs that reignited our belief in them,

says Hazel Wilde, the band's singer and songwriter. Within a few weeks of Selway arriving, they had a whole new version of the record.
