Fiona Apple’s career is finally back on. Following the announcement of her upcoming appearance at SXSW, the singer has confirmed via her Facebook fan page a short, six-date East Coast run post-SXSW, hopefully to coincide with the eventual release of her embattled new record (her first since 2005’s Extraordinary Machine). The tour is pretty brief and pretty clustered near NYC, but we’re hoping these dates are just the beginning of a colorful, head-rearing, Fiona-filled 2012.
No release date for the record has yet been set, but folks at her label, Epic, fervently assure everyone that it’ll be soon. Er, spring maybe? Well, this year for sure, anyway.
Per Twentyfourbit, tickets go on sale for Flavorpill subscribers on Thursday (February 23) from 10 a.m. through 10 p.m. EST; the sale goes to the public at noon on Friday.
