Weatherhouse is the second album by the English musician Philip Selway, released on 6 October 2014. It features musicians in Selway's backing band.[1] On 31 July 2014 a music video was released for the first single from the album, "Coming Up for Air". On 22 September 2014 a music video was released for another song on the album, "It Will End In Tears".[3] Whereas Selway's first album, Familial (2010), was largely acoustic, Weatherhouse features more ambitious arrangements and electronic elements.[4]

Critical reception

Weatherhouse received a score of 65 on Metacritic, indicating "generably favourable reviews".[5] AllMusic gave the album three and a half out of 5, declaring it "an immaculately crafted, impossibly tasteful miniature".[6] NME also gave it three and a half, writing that it showed that Selway was " a compelling artist in his own right" and shared elements with his work with Radiohead.
