Its a fucking great album

so fucking excited for the new one

Why have we been talking about this for weeks in various other threads when Fiona has her own dedicated thread?!

Mods????

Can't wait for this.

It's been striking how she's become a new generation's version of someone like Tom Waits. Long periods between albums, rarely tours, a sound that began as piano-based compositions and has morphed into something completely unique and idiosyncratic as time has gone on, etc.

yeah i agree with this, but Tom is way more complete as an artist. He made soundtracks, movies as an actor, wrote stuff....Fiona seems way more complicated and recluse.

The New Yorker piece about her is a great great read.

Been waiting for this!

Yeah New Yorker article was really great.

The new one is supposed to triple down on random percussive elements - like sometimes literally thing she found around her house to drum on.

There are few people that truly deserve the term "artist" these days, but she's definitely one of them.

Her PTA directed videos are fucking awesome, so I'm just going to post a few.

I believe I still have a VHS of her first performance on SNL circa '96 that had a fairly troubled RDJ host, my how things have changed.

For sure. She is amazing. I hope i can see her live someday, she was coming here in 2012 and dropped because her dog was about to die. For that alone, i respected her even more.
