Philip Selway's debut solo album, Familial, is just a week and a day away from its August 31 North American release on Nonesuch Records. Last Friday, we brought you a preview of three new tracks off the album here at nonesuch.com, in addition to the previously released opening track, "By Some Miracle," which is available with pre-orders in the Nonesuch Store. Now, the album can be heard streaming in its entirety, featured as NPR's First Listen all week, at npr.org.

"As a member of one of the most accomplished rock bands in the world, the bar is set pretty high," says NPR's Robin Hilton, addressing preconceptions of the Radiohead drummer. "But when you listen to the beautifully produced pieces Selway came up with on Familial, it's easy to see him not as a percussionist, but as a genuine singer-songwriter."

Hilton goes on to further assuage any concerns one might have of a drummer's solo work, saying "Selway can sing, and he's got a wonderfully nuanced voice. It's a more natural falsetto than heard in Thom Yorke's wails on the last several Radiohead albums, but it's no less memorable. And the songs Selway wrote sound heartfelt and inspired."

Listen for yourself this week at npr.org and reserve a copy of the new album in the Nonesuch Store to receive "By Some Miracle" upon checkout and the complete album included as high-quality, 320 kbps MP3s starting release day.
