Fiona Apple

What are you up to this summer, Fiona Apple fans? Wait, don't answer that -- it was a trick question. The real answer is "Catching Fiona on her first tour since 2005, because she's hitting the road to promote 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.'" (Try saying that 10 times fast.)

The new Fiona Apple album, 'The Idler Wheel is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw, and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do,' will be released on June 26 on Epic Records. The artwork for the album, which we will refer to as 'The Idler Wheel' for the sake of convenience, was also revealed.

Fiona Apple's fans know not to hold their breath between releases -- it's the kind of thing you learn when one of your favorite artists releases three albums over a 16-year span -- but she looks like she's finally ready to return with her long-awaited fourth full-length studio LP, and she whetted appetites during her recent SXSW showcase by debuting three new songs.

Fiona Apple has announced the title of her fourth studio album, and the 'Fast As You Can' songstress is channeling 1999's 'When the Pawn...' with yet another wordy name. According to reports, Apple has dubbed her upcoming LP -- take a deep breath now -- 'The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw, and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do.'
