After five years of waiting, Fiona Apple fans will be happy to learn that the singer/songwriter has a new album on the way.
According to a recent profile in Modern Drummer magazine of Apple's drummer and co-producer Charley Drayton, the follow-up to her highly acclaimed 2005 LP "Extraordinary Machine" has a spring 2011 release date. The article states that Drayton, who has toured with Apple since 2006, co-produced and mixed the record, as well as played on it.
An exact release date and album title is still not known, but according to singer-songwriter Michelle Branch, Apple's new material should be worth the wait. "Hate to brag but I heard a couple new Fiona Apple tracks today. Amazing," Branch wrote on Twitter Sept. 12.
Fans most recently heard new music from Apple earlier this year, when a collaboration with her longtime producer Jon Brion leaked online. The song, titled "So Sleepy," will be featured on the "Chickens in Love" benefit album, a yet-to-be-released compilation of songs co-written by Los Angeles youth at the creative writing non-profit 826LA.
Sure would love for them to give us an update on the new album's progress, clearly it's not coming out this Spring like many websites predicated last year
Was just having a lazy Sunday yesterday with having all of her albums on repeat for 20 hours and was wondering when the new album would be coming out, too. The only thing I could find are some new pictures of her performing at the Venice Family Clinic Silver Circle 2011 Gala two weeks ago:
^^me too! it makes me so sad that it takes so long for her to get an album released...
at least i console myself with the fact that when she does come out with new material it's consistently fantastic
Good to see her performing though! As long as she's not fading into oblivion completely then i feel like there's always hope...
