Potential person of the year, Fiona Apple (neck-and-neck with Lena Dunham at this juncture) now has her album up for streaming at npr. “The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do” is Apple’s first album in over seven years, and comes in the dull early days of summer, at a time when we all need it most.

Listen to “The Idler Wheel…” here and rid yourself of the summertime blues.
