Miles Kane recruits Super Furry Animals man for new Rascals album
Gruff Rhys enlisted to help out on the scousers' second effort
The Rascals' Miles Kane has revealed that he has enlisted Super Furry Animals' Gruff Rhys to help out on the scouse trio's second album.
Kane told BBC 6music that he expected the album to boast shades of John Lennon and T-Rex, but didn't reveal exactly what role Rhys would play.
"We're gonna be trying some stuff with Gruff," he explained. "We've got to set the date and that but I'm very excited to try it with him and see where we go because I really respect him and he’s a nice fella."
Speaking of The Rascals' new material, he added: "It's quite fresh sounding, quite Lennon-like, T-Rex. It's got a bit of a summer vibe to it as well.
The Rascals released their debut album, 'Rascalize', last year.
