Release Notes:
--------
A collection of sublimely fragile, haunting, and heartfelt songs, Familial is
likely to surprise manyùand not solely because these beautifully understated
performances are coming from a drummer. Familial is so persuasively good as to
make a case for Selway as a natural born singer-songwriter.

The very first seeds of Familial were planted in 2001 when Neil Finn organized
an impromptu gathering of talent, including Johnny Marr, Eddie Vedder, Lisa
Germano, former Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg, Selway, and his
Radiohead bandmate Ed OÆBrien, in aid of charity. The resulting album, 7 Worlds
Collide, was credited to Neil Finn and Friends, but when the project was revived
in 2008 the singing/songwriting was divided among the ranks, which by then
included members of Wilco. During those sessions at FinnÆs Auckland studio,
Philip came up with FamilialÆs ôThe Ties That Bind Us,ö on which he made his
debut as a lead vocalist. That song, and an earlier number, ôThe Witching
Hour"ùalso on Familialùappeared on 7WCÆs The Sun Came Out album, released August
2009.

Back home, Selway asked Courtyard StudiosÆ resident engineer and producer Ian
Davenport to work with him on sessions that would yield Familial. Selway then
invited Germano, Steinberg, and Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche and
multi-instrumentalist Patrick Sansone to join him in the studio. Familial finds
these varied and accomplished creative voices working in concert to craft a
subtly complex and completely hypnotic atmosphere. Curiously, traditional
drumming is virtually absent from the record, which favors underlying textures
and loops for percussion. At times FamilialÆs beats and instrumental colors are
so subtle, it seems as if the acoustic air in the room is setting the mood,
leaving space for the lyrics, which clearly come from the most intimate of
places.
