Fiona Apple Releases Long-Awaited
Album 'Fetch the Bolt Cutters’ ‘Fetch the Bolt Cutters' is a follow-up
to her 2012 album, ‘The Idler Wheel ...’ The album was produced by Apple alongside Amy Aileen Wood, Sebastian Steinberg and
David Garza. It features 13 songs, with Cara Delevingne contributing
back-up vocals to the album’s title track and guitarist
Bobb Bruno contributing “special effects” to two songs. While multiple recording locations are
credited to the album, every single song was
partially recorded at Apple’s own home. In an recent interview with the
‘New Yorker,’ the 42-year-old
singer- songwriter discussed
the album’s creation. Apple said she wanted “primary colors,” not
“half measures.” She even went as far as using the bones
of her deceased dog to create percussive textures. In a different interview with Vulture, Apple
described the message of the album, saying
it was about “breaking out of whatever prison
you’ve allowed yourself to live in.” Fiona Apple,
