Running Blind EP is the second solo release by English musician Phil Selway, best known as the drummer of alternative rock band Radiohead. It was released on 25 July 2011 in the United Kingdom and 30 August 2011 in the United States. The EP contains 4 songs that were left off Familial and were part of Selway's live sets. The songs were re-recorded with a full band.
The album received generally mixed reviews from critics. Joe Tangari from Pitchfork Media gave the album a 5.8/10 and specifically praised the song "What Goes Around", writing that it "delivers a well-crafted melody," and said that the album was a slight improvement over its predecessor, Familial. A review from PopMatters stated that the songs "just weren't good enough" and "exposed more weaknesses than necessary."
