Fiona Apple has announced the title of her ever-elusive, long-awaited follow-up to 2005's Extraordinary Machine, and yes, true to her style, it is 23 words long. The fourth Fiona Apple record will be called The Idler Wheel is wiser than the Driver of the Screw, and Whipping Cords will serve you more than Ropes will ever do. Yup. Still, it's a whole 61 words more concise than the 84-word title of 1999's When the Pawn... We can't wait to start referring to it as The Idler Wheel Is Doing This to Mock Our Desperation.

Fiona has announced two SXSW appearances — where she will be playing songs from this new album — and afterwards, she's embarking on a brief tour to effectively raise fans' blood pressure in anticipation of the record, which still doesn't have a release date, but is probably, kind of, we hope, coming out this spring.

Hahaha I guess she is often quite overwrought... but that's partly why I really like her :D

I wonder if we're getting the new single in 35 minutes, as that post implied.

They've just added a load of live dates to her Facebook page, so perhaps they'll finish off with the new single in a few minutes?? :drama:

She's almost gone into Joanna Newsom territory... and I just don't get her.

It's such a shame. I mean she was always dark and quirky, but also VERY melodic. That's why I adored her so much. This is just semi-tuneless drivel.

FIRST REVIEW! (In Mojo Magazine)

"Fiona Apple
The Idler Wheel…
****

Back in November 2011, New Yorker Fiona Apple grumbled that this album had “been done for a fucking year.” Whatever stalled in its release, it has been worth the wait. Packing robust, bare-boned, often off-piste piano, double bass and percussion-loop arrangements, it’s a hyper-vivid and intensely musical affair that takes us deep inside Apple’s skittish, fretful mind. Her multi-timbred voice is a compelling instrument throughout; heart-raw and (hopefully) cathartic on Regret, and an agile, multi-tracked thing on playful closer Hot Knife. Read as a love oracle The Idler Wheel… does not bode well, however, its players grappling with tearful dinner dates (Valentine), and confused pleas for space (Left Alone). “Nothing wrong when / A song ends in / A minor key,” sings Apple sadly on stand-out track Werewolf."
