Radiohead's O'Brien and Selway to re-join Neil Finn for new Seven Worlds Collide project...

Todd Roberts

From Press Release…

Seven years ago OBrien and Selway were invited by Finn to participate
in a special series of concerts in New Zealand under the banner Seven
Worlds Collide. Also returning from that original Seven Worlds Collide
lineup will be founder of the Smiths and member of Modest Mouse Johnny
Marr, Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg, songwriter and
violinist Lisa Germano, and Liam Finn. Artists newly joining the
project include Jeff Tweedy, John Stirrat, Glenn Kotche and Pat
Sansone from Wilco, and New Zealand songwriters Bic Runga and Don
McGlashan. Behind the mixing desk will be master recording engineer
Jim Scott. More names will be added to the lineup in the coming weeks.

The album will be recorded over the next few months in Auckland’s
Roundhead Studios and is due for release in 2009. Like its
predecessor, the project will also see a series of concerts featuring
many of the artists included in the lineup. The shows will take place
in Auckland early in the New Year. Details will be announced soon.
