...according to our Business Lady on 26 August 2010.
You should know Mr. Selway's name, he's the drummer of the relatively well known British rock band Radiohead. Selway's been running with a bad crowd of late, doing a bit of charity work with the likes of Neil Finn of Crowded House amongst others (Eddie Vedder...it's no crime being wealthy lad, enjoy yourself and stop bothering me with your charitable spirit). On 'By Some Miracle' Selway sings and plays guitar with Lisa Germano and a bunch of other folks. He crafts an enchanting folksy number and doe's it with taste and dignity. I prefer his drumming efforts myself but there you go, it's still a nice little single.
The seeds of Selway’s solo album were to a degree planted back in 2001 when Neil Finn (of Crowded House and solo fame) organised an impromptu gathering of talent, including Johnny Marr, Eddie Vedder, Lisa Germano, former Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg and Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien and Selway, in aid of charity. The resulting album - “7 Worlds Collide” - was credited to Neil Finn and Friends, but when he revived the project in 2008 the singing/songwriting was divided among the ranks, which also now included members of Wilco. As the ensemble beavered away on three floors of Finn’s Auckland studio, Philip came up with “The Ties That Bind Us”, with which he made his singing debut (as a lead vocalist), in Auckland in January, 2009. That song, and an earlier number, “The Witching Hour”, were recorded for 7WC’s “The Sun Came Out” album, released in August of that year. “By Some Miracle” is the 1st single to be lifted from the Radiohead man’s debut & includes exclusive b-side “Running Blind”.
Side A – By Some Miracle
