Fiona Apple (Official Thread)

[Aktivator]

Fiona Apple did a few small venue gigs before her album release later this spring. Lucky enough to snag a ticket to tonights show at the Bowery Ballroom. She only played a little more than an hour but played a cool set list with songs from all three previous albums (highlights Sleep to Dream, Paper Bag, It's a Mistake, Carrion, EM) and three new songs from her new album. Plus she ended the set with her cover of Across the Universe and It's Only Make Believe (Conway Twitty).

^ Cool, sounds like you had a great time. Did you get me meet her afterwards? I just recently starting really listening to her music (last summer pretty much) and I'd love to get to see her perform live whenever she decides to tour around NYC area again. Going to check out the new songs on YouTube

In honor of Fiona's new album coming out I've been listening to her first two albums a lot lately and I'm surprised no one has brought up one of my favorites from her, the sleazy sounding "A Mistaken". Here's a really cool live version...

Sullen Girl off Tidal is really underrated D:
i love this band, besides Coldplay and a small number of others, piano rock has been done completely out of character from bands' other works. The Bens are remind me of FA if anyone here is a fan of them

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

I really don't connect The Bens with Fiona Apple at all. Fiona is waaaaaaaaaaay darker than The Bens are.

I was talking more about the instrumental aspect rather than the general tone of either group, but i agree with you

There's not much I can say about Fiona that I haven't already! She's perfect! So on the new single it's simple, I LOVE it!!!

Yep that is definitely a Fiona Apple song. It's very.....delicate sounding with a snippet of harshness. There is also a little anachronism to me because the double tracked, tribal sounding parts sound like Florence Welch to my ear and Fiona came WAY before Florence. To sum it up, I like what I hear.
