The Fireman, the ambient music duo of Paul McCartney and Youth, will return with their first album in 10 years on Nov. 17.
"Electric Arguments," their third album, will be their first to feature vocals. The 13 tracks on "Electric Arguments"  were recorded in 13 days. The Fireman went into the studio with no plan or clear direction of how they wanted the album to sound.
Website posting reads: “ 'Ambient dreams in rainbow arches describe the circles of The Fireman,' is how the duo described their music in a rare interview around the release of their last album ‘Rushes’ in 1998. Their first album ‘Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest’, released in 1993, was a solid ambient dance album heavy on electronics.
"The album’s opener 'Nothing Too Much Just Out Of Sight' is classic rock and an instant attention grabber. A heavy guitar riff with loud drums and souring vocals, it’s like nothing The Fireman have ever done before. The second track, the acoustic driven 'Two Magpies' immediately takes you in a different direction, calming things right down. Then we reach the third song 'Sing The Changes,' a euphoric upbeat song with an instantly memorable melody. 'Electric Arguments' continues in this fashion, keeping the listener intrigued as to where The Fireman will take them next. Each album track has an entirely different personality, yet somehow this collection sits together perfectly. Other standout tracks include ‘Light From Your Lighthouse’, ‘Sun Is Shining’ and ‘Dance ‘Til We’re High’, all in keeping with the genre-hopping spirit of the first two The Fireman albums.
'Electric Arguments' demonstrates that Paul McCartney is still interested in pure musical possibilities. This is an album set to both surprise and delight the listener. Made with no record company restraints or a set release date to work to, 'Electric Arguments' was made with complete artistic and creative freedom."
