Fiona Apple will be taking the Kleinhan’s stage tonight. The bells and xylophone sounds, her sultry vocals of heartbreak and self-improvement that comprise her 2005 Extraordinary Machine is what has made this particular album frequently listened to in my collection. Her 1996 album Tidal is chock full of classics including the quick poetry of “Sleep to Dream” and the swooning vocals and imagery of “Shadowboxer.” She can often be prejudged and placed into “that girl” group of musicians; although not, Apple could have easily been one of the female musicians mentioned in this Aimee Mann skit on IFC’s hipster-hilarious show Portlandia. Don’t judge her on artists she’s similar to, Fiona Apple has a sound of her own and will most definitely put on an amazing show.
