Strange Dance is a suitable title for what Philip Selway attempts on his third solo album: it's a record that sways to its own idiosyncratic rhythms. That these beats aren't especially danceable is no surprise. Selway's previous solo records cultivated a space somewhere outside of Radiohead's orbit, drawing from a similar well of English art rock but creating something softer and amorphous.

Strange Dance is gentle enough to constitute adventurous background listening but complex enough to reward a closer inspection, a curious combination that is not without appeal. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
