Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner is to release his debut solo album early next month, according to reports.

The album serves as the soundtrack for Richard Ayoade's new film Submarine, which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim.

According to the band's label, Domino Records, Turner's solo release will be made available in early March in both the UK and the US.

"[It will be a] completely separate release than the new Monkeys album," a spokesperson for Domino Records confirmed to HitFix, referring to the band's fourth studio album which is due for release this year.

The album has been produced by James Ford, who also produced the Monkeys' 2009 album Humbug.

Turner has previously worked with Ayoade on a number of music videos for the Arctic Monkeys, as well as the band's live music DVD At The Apollo back in 2008.

Turner's debut solo album is due to be released on March 14.
