Gruff Rhys

~ Space Dust #2 / Whale Trail single

~ Whale Trail game

~ UK tour

Gruff Rhys proudly presents a new double a-side single and accompanying game, in addition to a forthcoming headline UK tour.

The single is comprised of Space Dust #2 and Whale Trail. One of the many highlights of Gruffs current Hotel Shampoo album, Space Dust #2 is a tale of short-lived, seminar-sparked romance in the form of a duet with El Perro Del Mar. The playful Whale Trail sees Gruff declaring this is a motivational song, lets all get along and has been inspired by the accompanying iPhone game of the same name.
The digital double a-side single and Whale Trail game will be released on 20th Oct and a limited-edition 12 vinyl single on 31st Oct. Pre order the 12 single HERE .

Just like the song, the Whale Trail game is a highly addictive affair. Players pilot Willow The Whale as he flies through the skies collecting colours and points. As well as the soundtrack to Willow The Whales 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 ustwo - Neils previous collaborations with Gruff include artwork for Super Furry Animals Juxtaposed With You single and animations for the bands innovative Rings Around The World and Phantom Power DVD albums.
