Gruff Rhys has unveiled plans for a new game connected to his song ‘Whale Trail’.
Gruff Rhys has a hell of an imagination. The Welsh songwriter is a truly unique talent, with new solo album ‘Hotel Shampoo’ finding the Super Furry Animals mainman in the middle of a real pop streak.
Released to widespread acclaim, ‘Hotel Shampoo’ has been followed by some memorable projects. Launching the album in a Blackpool hotel, Gruff Rhys has now completed his own video game.
‘Whale Trail’ is available from October 20th on the iPhone and iPad, in which players pilot Willow The Whale through the skies collecting colours and points.
You can listen to the new song ‘Whale Trail’ HERE. Check out a trailer for the full video game below…
