Fiona Freed!

Extraordinary Machine will finally be released on October 4th. (You can find my review of the leaked tracks here.)

Maybe the rumors of a artistic feud between Fiona and producer Jon Brion were true (though the pair are apparently now dating), as his somewhat cluttered sound has been wiped clean and replaced by rap producer extraordinaire Mike Elizondo. Judging by the clips available on the official site, I'd say it's a step backwards.

Comments:


Jon Brion plays live at Largo all the time, I think. Same with Michael Penn and Grant Lee Phillips. Although Penn is touring soon (with two Chicago dates!), so he might not be there for awhile.

Brion does play at Largo weekly. He is a great composer for film and a talented producer. I am interested to hear what he did with Fiona Apple's music, but apparently he isn't in the mix anymore - too bad.

Now I'll have to pull out my Extraordinary Machine tracks to compare to the new ones. "O Sailor" doesn't sound all that different, but my recollection of the Brion track is that it's better. Of course, Brion's probably the best producer around, so that's no surprise ...
