Phil Selway to take Strange Dance round Britain in May

Phil Selway has announced six British shows for May, with Union Chapel in Islington as the London night. Before them comes a short European leg early in the month, taking in Paris and Berlin.

Strange Dance, his third solo album and his first since Weatherhouse in 2014, came out on Bella Union on 24 February, four months after he announced it with “Check For Signs Of Life”. He told NME in January that he knew the sound he wanted before he began, broad enough to hold a lot of different parts, with the singing and the words kept as close as pillow talk.

In the same interview he said the five members of Radiohead had met to talk about what comes next, though each wants to see his own project through first, and that all five still want to make music together in some form. We all really value that musical relationship, and that's been there for 38 years.¹
