Fetch the Bolt Cutters (Epic/Clean Slate)
This made my “what have you been listening to during lockdown?” list for WYSO last spring, and it made enough of an impression on me to finish in the year’s Top 10. Fiona Apple returns after an eight-year break with my favorite thing she’s ever done, a dense, claustrophobic, inventive album that she recorded mostly at her home. It’s a perfect soundtrack to quarantine. Not necessarily an easy, comfortable listen, but an extremely rewarding one.

La Locura de Machuca (1975-1980) (Analog Africa)
Analog Africa is a great archival label; if it’s got their stamp on it, it’s worth checking out.
