In this episode of The Talkhouse Music Podcast, Philip Selway (Radiohead drummer and outstanding solo artist) has a really lovely conversation with one of his favorite new musicians, Ghostpoet, who weds vivid poetry with flowing grooves. (Offstage, he's Obaro Ejimiwe, and he happens to be a big Radiohead fan.)
The two had never met before, but you can hear them hit it off as they get deep into their processes in a candid and insightful way and get to places that only two musicians can get.
Selway has some great reminiscences about the dawning days of Radiohead, and Ejimiwe has some great reminiscences about the dawning days of Ghostpoet. They also talk about music theory vs. intuition, collaboration, self-doubt, the dangers and benefits of reading your own press, and much more. Although they make very different kinds of music, by the end, Selway declares, "We've got similarly wired brains."
