Perfume Genius – Set My Heart on Fire Immediately She deadpans, “Yeah, I guess the end is here,” in the two halves of “I Know the End” as she tethers the fear of leaving home to a dramatic representation of an actual apocalypse: lightning strikes, fire rises, and people weep.ģ. Bridgers is the first to criticize allowing one emotion to overtake her, which is why she infuses a banal detail with songs like “Moon Song”. ‘Punisher’’ is just her second full-length set as a solo artist, but she has already formed a distinct worldview.

Apple’s early music had too much to do with the grand betrayals of incompetent men and the patriarchal world, and represents what many of us go through. The raw energy of Apple’s voice is the life force of the album, and the subjects of her messages are not mistaken. ‘Fetch The Bolt Cutters’ receives the same treatment, with Apple recording the album both in and with her home in Venice Beach, banging on its walls and stomping on its floors. The LP follows the percussive thread of ‘The Idler Wheel is Wiser…’ of 2012, which features self-directed songs that pick up with elemental rhythms created, in part, by handclaps, floor stomps, and furniture-banging. A wild symphony of daily life and unyielding masterpiece. Fiona Apple – Fetch The Bolt Cutters Fiona Apple’s ‘Fetch the Bolt Cutters’įiona Apple’s fifth album, ‘Fetch the Bolt Cutters,’ is unbound.
