According to NME, Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner and The Rascals‘ Miles Kane are set to record an album together this month that is expected to drop in the first half of 2008 (after The Rascals have released their debut album). Kane contributed guitar to Arctic Monkeys’ most recent album, Favourite Worst Nightmare, and has joined the band live frequently this summer.

The duo are still trying to work out what to name their sideproject, but are considering calling themselves Turner & Kane (which kind of sounds like the best cop TV series never made). After bending an ear to The Rascals, it sounds like the pair will be a natural fit and have no problems cranking out an interesting album. If not, I’d love to pitch a TV pilot about buddy cops with them…

MP3s:
Arctic Monkeys - “Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys”
The Rascals - “Is It Too Late”
