Two tracks from the album were released today as a double A-side single. Hear “I Don’t Know” and “Come On To Me” below:
“I liked the words ‘Egypt Station’,” says McCartney in a press release. “It reminded me of the ‘album’ albums we used to make… Egypt Station starts off at the station on the first song and then each song is like a different station. So it gave us some idea to base all the songs around that. I think of it as a dream location that the music emanates from.”
