The new Fiona Apple album will be released this fall!
No clue on the release date, but the good news is that the idiots at Sony finally got their heads out of their asses and are letting Extraordinany Machine hit the record store shelves. (ED: Ruth says October 4th is the lucky day. If that's incorrect, blame her.)
The bad news is, like many of us had feared, they made her re-vamp it. "O' Sailor", the apparent first single, has been sped up and is a bit more polished than the version that was on the original leaked album (you can hear this new version in its entirety on her MySpace page), which is fine, except for the fact that I rather liked the more stripped-down feel of the leaked Extraordinany Machine. And there's a new song as well, "Parting Gift", so there's really no telling what else "happened" to this record--word is, her original producer got the boot, and by whom is the curious question.
But at least we finally get the freakin album. More on that later...
