Gruff Rhys
The single is comprised of Space Dust #2 and Whale Trail. The former comes from his current album, Hotel Shampoo and is "a tale of short-lived, seminar-sparked romance in the form of a duet with El Perro Del Mar."
Whale Trail, is accompanied by an iPhone game of the same name. Players pilot Willow The Whale as he flies through the skies collecting colours and points. As well as the soundtrack to Willow The Whale's adventures, Gruff has also provided the voiceover, in Welsh.
The Whale Trail app has been designed by Neil McFarland of award winning digital design studio . His previous collaborations with Gruff include artwork for Super Furry Animals' Juxtaposed With You single and animations for the band's innovative Rings Around The World and Phantom Power DVD albums.
The digital double a-side single and Whale Trail game will be released on 20 October, with a limited-edition 12" vinyl single following on 31 October.
