Artist: Fiona Apple

Frank Yang The writeup for the first evening's entertainment for SXSW 2012 can be found over here . 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.

• Daughter - Love
• Dry The River - NEW CEREMONY

My good friends and my Union Square apartment aside, I can't say there's much that I miss about living in New York City, particularly in the post 9/11 years. Occasionally, usually while I'm watching a rerun of Sex and the City on TV, I get a little nostalgic for the good old days, circa 1994-95 -- Monday nights at Sugar Babies, Tuesdays at Jackie 60, Wednesdays at Flamingo East, Thursdays at Bowery Bar, Fridays at Sound Factory Bar, Saturdays at the Roxy and Twilo, Sundays hungover in bed with a cheese omelet and fries. But I dry my [...]

Şarkılarını sıktığı dişlerinin arasından karşısındakini tehdit eder gibi söyleyen müzisyenleri çok seviyorum. Genele göre defo sayılan şeyleri kimliğinin bir parçası olarak kabul edebilenleri de. Fiona Apple ikisini de yapıyor. Bu sabah yine YouTube’da oradan oraya savrulup sonunda Iconoclasts serisinin Fiona Apple ve Quentin Tarantino’lu bölümüne düştüm. Şarkılar, farklı insanların birbirlerinden binlerce kilometre uzakta aynı şeyleri hissedip düşündüğünü gösterebildiği için bu kadar delici. Hem bizi kendimizi anlatmak için kelimelerle cebelleşmekten kurtarıyorlar, hem dünya üzerindeki tek insanmışız gibi hissettiğimizde sırtımızı pışpışlıyorlar. Herkes gibi, ben de en çok beni anlatan cümleleri tutuyorum aklımda. Belgeselden aldığım alttaki diyalog adeta Artemis 101. Tanıştığım herkesle konuşmak [...]

Photo by G. Fiona Apple and Geoffrey Dicker Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Fiona Apple played her first show in New York in quite a few years the other night and it was close to impossible to get tickets.  I drowned my sorrows by going to another show, but as I like to consider myself the Goodwill Ambassador to the Art and Music Scene in New York, I thought I'd greet Ms. Apple with my great smile and my camera.  She was with magician David [...]

Another release was just added to this year's Record Store Day lineup that caught our eye: "You’re The One I Love," a rendition of the Everly Brothers' 1964 single by Nickel Creek's Sara Watkins and former tourmate/longtime collaborator Fiona Apple, will arrive on limited 73 vinyl as part of Nonesuch's Side By Side covers series. While we've heard the pair sing together quite a bit of late - most notably, for a take on Dolly Parton classic "Jolene" at Largo last fall - today YouTube has a glimpse of their forthcoming studio [...]

SXSW 2012 took over the streets of Austin last week and by all accounts, the city of Austin is probably still picking up the mess left behind. Our friend, Carla Ferguson, was kind to recap her week of craziness, taking in acts from Jigga to Trust. All words and photos by Carla Ferguson. Fresh Cut Collective: Geeks meet rock… and rap. This band was actually super interesting. They performed a version of 50 Cent’s “In the Club” that was quite unique. Check them out sometime. Jay-Z: [...]

We packed the lovely Helen Boast on her way off to Austin, Texas last week to snap a photo journal of events at the SXSW 2012 music festival. SXSW is always an impressive affair with more showcases, parties, barbeques, and cupcakes than any person could rightly ever get to - but most importantly it is always a whirlwind of new music. This is how she got on... (Words by her trusty companion Laura Studarus from Under The Radar ) Nutrition is crucial at SXSW. It’s important [...]

This is my fifth year straight where I descended to the great city of Austin, Texas to enjoy the most insane week of live music you will ever enjoy. I took a little easier than most years, but I still had a very fulfilling week of music. I get to enjoy a wide array of [...]

I think it safe to say that the extraordinary Fiona Apple is one of the all-time favorite artists of every single writer on the Muruch staff. This is particularly true of our Mid-West reviewer/photographer Jen "Coble" Hopper, who was fortunate enough to attend Fiona Apple's live performance on March 19th at Chicago's Lincoln Hall. You [...]

South by Southwest 2012 offered an orgiastic selection of music, too bounteous for any one person to digest. Buzz Bands LA contributing photographer Scott Dudelson made the rounds all week and hit some of the festival's buzziest artists — from everyone's darlings, Alabama Shakes (top photo) to swoon-worthy songstresses (Fiona Apple and Norah Jones) to L.A. favorites (Soft Swells and Jenny O) to indie favorites (Built to Spill and White Denim) to re-emergent veterans (the DB's and Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top). Here's a sampling of what he saw. Concert photography by Scott Dudelson

What did you miss at South by Southwest this year? Oh, a couple great bands , Bruce Springsteen's keynote speech , a whole lot of burrito-exacerbated hangovers - and two big comeback shows by Fiona Apple, who's set release her fourth studio album in June. Those who caught the hot-ticket performances are raving, so we're glad to see that videos from them have begun to pop up online. Although the clips vary in quality, Apple sounds as smoldering, soulful, and in control as ever, her songs surprising and diverse and painful and pretty. This first glimpse suggests that [...]

Fiona Apple recently played a couple of shows at SXSW and she debuted 3 new songs in her sets; 'Anything We Want' , 'Every Single Night' and 'Valentine'. I included the video for Valentine below which has great video quality and not so great audio. Apple is set to release her new album, The Idler Wheel is wiser than the Driver of the Screw, and Whipping Cords will serve you more than Ropes will ever do. Yes you read that right her album title is an eight-line poem, and it is set to [...]

El cuarto disco de la vocalista, The Idler Wheel is wiser than the Driver [...]

Last week, Fiona Apple played her first two solo shows in a few years at SXSW. The one I saw, at Stubb's, was a pretty magical affair - a great talent gutting her way through obvious issues of stage-fright and self-consciousness, rising to the occasion and reminding the world of her own power. During those shows, she debuted three new songs, and we've already posted video of two of them, "Anything We Want" and "Every Single Night." Below, we've got a fan-made video of the final track, an ornate piano-based track called "Valentine." Read More...

Frank Yang The return of Fiona Apple to the public eye may have been the story of the SXSW not nicknamed, "The Boss". Some six plus on from the release of her last album Extraordinary Machine , it's not been an absence of, oh, Kevin Shields proportions but the tales of shelved releases and label battles have certainly given her a mythology of similar proportions. I say this from the perspective of someone who's never counted himself a fan of her work but who's certainly heard the [...]
