Philip Selway's solo debut album, Familial, is due out at the end of the month, on Nonesuch in North America and on Bella Union elsewhere. Selway spoke with Billboard magazine's Micky Noonan for an interview that was also published via Reuters. Noonan refers to "the album's pared-down, acoustic sound," about which Selway says: "It's a world apart from what I do in Radiohead."

In the interview, Selway discusses the origin of his solo work, his process for creating the tunes, signing on collaborators like fellow drummer Glenn Kotche, and future plans for Radiohead. He also has kind words to say about releasing the album on Nonesuch and the fellow artists he joins in doing so. "My overriding sense of signing with Nonesuch is that they're music lovers and they have an amazing roster," he tells Billboard; "it felt like a very good home for the music."

You can read the complete interview at billboard.com and reuters.com.

Familial is now available for pre-order on vinyl and CD in the Nonesuch Store with a free instant download of the album's opening track, "By Some Miracle." Pick up a copy now in the Nonesuch Store.

    The 27-disc box set Steve Reich Collected Works is out now on Nonesuch. It features music recorded during the composer's 40 years on the label—six decades of his compositions, including first recordings of his two latest works, Jacob’s Ladder and Traveler’s Prayer (both also available to stream/download today)—plus two extensive booklets with new essays by Robert Hurwitz, Michael Tilson Thomas, Russell Hartenberger, Judith Sherman, and Nico Muhly, and a comprehensive listener’s guide by Timo Andres. Nonesuch made its first record with Steve Reich in 1985; he was signed exclusively to the label that year. Collected Works includes 24 discs of Nonesuch recordings and three from other labels. You can watch an unboxing video narrated by the composer here.

    Cinematic electro-pop duo Ringdown, featuring Danni Lee Parpan and Pulitzer and Grammy winner Caroline Shaw, will release its debut album, Lady on the Bike, May 9. The album celebrates the feeling of possibility in myriad forms: the possibility of love; the possibility of creating connection and community in a world trying to pull those things apart; the possibility of making music in new ways. Ringdown will create additional custom sleeves for the first 50 Nonesuch Store vinyl orders. The duo will perform with Sō Percussion and in its own headlining shows this spring and summer.
