Formally await release in solitary? (4,4,2,3)

I believe the answer is:

away from it all

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'solitary?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'formally await release' is the wordplay.
'release' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'released' mean this (letters released from their original order)).
'formally'+'await'='formallyawait'
'formallyawait' anagrammed gives 'AWAY FROM IT ALL'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for away from it all that I've seen is " In seclusion".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
