Sir Paul McCartney is returning to his Fireman alias after a decade away from the collaborative project with producer Youth.
McCartney
releases "Electric Arguments" by the Fireman on Nov. 17 via MPL, an
imprint of his own London-based publishing company. The 13-track album
will be manufactured and distributed by U.K. indie One Little Indian
worldwide except the U.S., where ATO will issue it.
"Electric
Arguments" is the third set from the Fireman, although it is the first
to feature vocals and is described as "entirely different" from the
dance and electronic music of previous releases.
McCartney and Martin "Youth" Glover,
a former member of Killing Joke, released an ambient dance album,
"Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest" (Parlophone), in 1993; McCartney's
involvement was initially a secret but later leaked. They followed that
with another electronica project, "Rushes" (Hydra/EMI) in 1998.
The
new album features more traditional songwriting, including classic rock
and acoustic tracks, "yet is in keeping with the genre-hopping spirit
of the first two the Fireman albums," according to a statement. One
track, "Lifelong Passion," was donated to the charity Adopt-A-Minefield
as download for those making donations.
