Ed O’Brien and Phil Selway, from some band called Radiohead, will once again back Neil Finn for a follow up to the acclaimed 7 Worlds Collide, a project supporting international development organization Oxfam.

Seven years ago O’Brien 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. And, as if the project weren’t rockstar-studded enough, 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. As soon as more details are available, you can be sure to catch the news here.
