It is so persuasively good, it sounds like Selway has always been a singer-songwriter. The seeds of Selway's solo album were planted back in 2001 when Neil Finn 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, which resulted in the '7 Worlds Collide' album. Philip then invited Germano, Steinberg, Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche and multi-instrumentalist Patrick Sansone to come and make the record with him.
