Paul McCartney As The Fireman

Paul McCartney has released two albums under the name The Fireman with the producer Youth (of The Super Furry Animals.) These are experimental ambient music albums. I’ve only heard the second of those two: 1998’s Rushes. The first is from 1993 and is titled Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest. I’d like to hear that one as well but it’s out of print and hard to locate (as is Rushes.)

I read recently that McCartney is working with Youth now on a new album by The Fireman that should be out later this year. And I’m hopeful it’s going to be crazy weird. Yes, crazy weird would be delicious.

To get an idea of the kind of music The Fireman makes - listen to “Appletree Cinnabar Amber” off of Rushes:

***edit***

I just found this track “Lifelong Passion” which may be on the new album.
