Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recording entirely alone following the dissolution of Wings, Paul McCartney plunged headfirst into weird, wonderfully lo-fi electronic pop. 'McCartney II' is a highly experimental, delightfully eccentric album packed with bizarre synthesizer instrumentals, playful vocals, and deeply quirky new wave melodies, standing as one of his most radically creative solo works.
