McCartney to release dance album

Sir Paul McCartney is to use his pseudonym to release an album of electronic dance music.

The former Beatle will follow last year's Memory Almost Full with Electric Arguments, which he will put out under the name The Fireman.

The release marks the third record McCartney has made in the guise and the third time he has teamed up with producer Youth.

The pair previously collaborated on 1993 album Strawberries Oceans Ships Forest and follow-up Rushes in 1998. An initial attempt to keep their identity secret failed when it was leaked to the press.

McCartney performed his first concert in Israel last week.
