Fiona Apple's The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do arrives here as an Asian import CD, ten raw, percussive songs that rank among her finest work.
Released in 2012 after a seven-year gap, the album found Apple stripping her sound right back. Working with drummer and multi-instrumentalist Charley Drayton, she built songs from piano, odd percussion and found sounds, letting her voice and lyrics carry the weight. Critics hailed it as one of the boldest albums of the year.
Every Single Night opens softly with a music-box melody before her voice cracks open into something wild and unguarded. Werewolf is a sharp, bittersweet reflection on a failed relationship, set to sparse piano and the sound of a distant playground, while Hot Knife closes the album with layered, chant-like vocals and pounding timpani. Daredevil, meanwhile, swings between playful and unhinged with thrilling unpredictability.
There is nothing polished or radio-ready here, and that is precisely the point; the rawness makes the emotions feel startlingly close and immediate.
For fans of fearless, idiosyncratic songwriting, this is Apple at her most uncompromising, honest and creatively alive, a uniquely rewarding listen that only deepens with time.
