As one of the most revered, matchless singer-songwriters of her time, Fiona Apple has a lot to live up to when she emerges with a new album (especially since she spaces her releases so far apart). As anticipated as this 2020 release was, "Fetch the Bolt Cutters" fully stunned even her most ardent fans (do you know how rare a perfect 10 on Pitchfork is?). Strikingly inventive yet powerfully personal and confessional, stark in its production (which features voices and instruments but also barking dogs and pots and pans) yet tremendously potent in its impact, this album destroys genre boundaries as it almost shocks with its brilliance; experience it on CD or double 180-gram vinyl: "Shameika," "Ladies," "Relay," "For Her," "Drumset," the title cut and more! Epic.
