Alex Turner’s side project with Rascals man Miles Kane looks set to be released this April producer James Ford has revealed.

Ford says the pair’s album is very different to what they do in their own bands saying it has something of a retro feel to it.

He told 6 Music: “It’s quite different sounding than the Arctics’ I think.”

“It’s kind of quite sort of ‘Sixties-y’ and really good songs and there’s a lot of orchestration and stuff.”

However, Ford says he doesn’t expect the duo to carry on the project beyond this album.

He said: “It’s just a little side project for Al really. They’re just a bunch of songs that him and Miles wrote together that didn’t fit in to either of their individual bands.

“They just wanted to record the songs because they existed and they were good, really. We went away for a couple of weeks in the summer and had fun and recorded the whole thing.”
