"Imagine you're Bob Dylan in 1967' or 'Imagine you're Captain Beefheart meets Jimi Hendrix on a bad trip"
This is one of the direction that Youth gave Sir Paul McCartney before recording the track "Nothing Too Much Just Out of Sight" from his new album Electric Arguments.
Recorded at McCartney's countryside estate in Sussex, both artists worked so fast they would cut an entire song each day (spread over the course of a year).
While McCartney reveals that some of the lyrics inspiration comes from books of poetry by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg and Walt Whitman, the overall record sounds like a fresh new approach to psychedelic English-sounding Folk.
The result of his collaboration with youth on his experimental side project, The Fireman is one of the most personal, inspired and creative records of Paul McCartney I've heard since Band On The Run.
