Fiona Apple- “Every Single Night”

Visuals for the new Fiona Apple track “Every Single Night,” and they’re pretty disorienting, cutting between a series of strange situations involving Fiona in a hula outfit, Fiona covered in snails, and Fiona walking furiously within the vicinity of a giant squid monster. Gotta see it to believe it.

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, is dropping officially tomorrow via Epic Records.

Fiona Apple- “Werewolf”

Another stellar track from Fiona Apple’s forthcoming album, the Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do. It’s officially dropping in about two weeks, and I’m psyched. Especially if I can expect dark lyricism, emotive vocals, and dramatically performed instrumentation like this!
