Fiona Apples fifth record is unbound.

And she rejects its oppressive logic in every note.

Its a freewheeling and explosive brain-chemistry record a beautiful and terrifying thing.

From Fionas lips to Gods ears: Were gonna be fine.

She released the record in April instead of Octoberas suggested.

She created the album art by hand.

Indulgent only in the right ways, it might even be Apples best album.

Its a musical food bank unto itself.

But to focus only on Apples fervor misses the point.

On even the most intense moments of Fetch, her lyrics retain a playfulness that acts as a ballast.

Unrefined sounds recorded in her LA home make for a visceral listening experience.

The melodies are wonderful.

The lyrics, too conversational yet precise.
