Fiona Apple
– Mercurial and beloved Los Angeles singer-songwriter who’s come out of seclusion to prepare the for the release of (deep breath) The Idler Wheel is wiser than the Driver of the Screw, and Whipping Cords will serve you more than Ropes will ever do – or The Idler Wheel… to its friends – later this Summer. Advance word is that it should be ready around June but Apple fans know better than to expect timely delivery of her work.
