The Fireman
The Fireman is the moniker given to electronic music experiments created by Paul McCartney and Youth (Martin Glover).
In 1993, the duo of McCartney and Youth released its first album, Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest, and followed that with Rushes in 1998.
In 2000, Youth also took part in McCartney's similarly styled Liverpool Sound Collage.
The duo's most recent album, Electric Arguments, is available on its website, as well as on CD in many stores.The band had remained anonymous until 2008.In June 2008, McCartney's official website announced that a track called "Lifelong Passion (Sail Away)", from the album Electric Arguments, would be issued as a limited-edition download to fans who donated to the charity Adopt-A-Minefield.
The album was released on the label One Little Indian on 24 November 2008.
The new album features more traditional songs, in which there are vocals (the first time on any of their albums).
The majority of the album's vocals come from McCartney.The duo borrowed the title "Electric Arguments" from the poem "Kansas City to St.
Louis" by Allen Ginsberg.
In Wired magazine, McCartney stated this was because "he's been looking at the beauty of word combinations rather than their meaning."In February 2009, Sirius XM launched Fireman Radio, a limited-run channel dedicated to the music of the group.The acoustic guitarist in the band plays a Maple Taylor 12-String Jumbo.
