When Philip Selway approached some of his favourite musicians to play on his third solo record, he said he imagined it as a Carole King record, if she collaborated with the pioneering electronic composer Daphne Oram and invited him to drum on it.
Unsurprisingly they were all sold, and so began the bringing together of an extraordinary number of gifted people, including Hannah Peel, Adrian Utley, Quinta, Marta Salogni, Valentina Magaletti and Laura Moody.
Foregrounding this remarkable union of musical voices was 10 songs written by Selway at home on piano and guitar that show him at the height of his songwriting powers.
As ‘Strange Dance’ unfurls, it takes the listener through different weathers and seasons.
Each song carries varied and diverse shades and textures of emotion.
Lyrically, it is artful. Selway has a gift at writing heartfelt lyrics which could relate to any number of human experiences.
