Meet SodaHead's favorite artist of the week! Last week, we introduced Los Angeles-based indie pop band Capital Cities. This week, we're actually introducing... er, reintroducing an artist who's been absent from the music scene since 2005. Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Fiona Apple is known for taking long hiatuses between albums, and her relative instability. But her world-class talent is undeniable, and she's back for more with "The Idler Wheel..."
First, a little background. Apple first rose to fame in 1996 with her debut album, "Tidal," which she started recording when she was just 18 years old. Within two years, her breakout single "Criminal" took the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, securing her a place in musical history. But in 2000, not long after her second album, she was on the verge of retiring. She's only released a single album since then, 2005's "Extraordinary Machine."
Now she's back with a brand new, highly anticipated album, set for release on June 19. The full album title is "The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver of The Screw And Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do." Whew. The title's length and obscurity resembling her equally strange and evocative lyrics. The album's lead single, "Every Single Night," is a vivid glimpse into the heart and soul that forged those mysterious words. Check out the video below, and let us know who you're listening to this week. Feel free to post audio clips and videos. We want to hear!

I'm not a rap fan either but that was different. Still not for me.
Omnia - Wytches' Brew
Omnia is one of my overall favorite bands. "pagan folk" or "medieval".
