Fiona Apple’s long-anticipated new album seems to be ready. The influential American singer/songwriter just confirmed that her new record, titled Fetch the Bolt Cutters, will arrive on April 17th as a digital release.

Apple first teased fans with a video message in which she said she might release her new album “really soon.” Then, on April 1st, the “Sleep to Dream” singer officially announced the release date in a clip posted on Fiona Apple Rocks Tumblr page.

The video features a dog running down the beach while the information about the album is being written on the screen. Check out the clip below.

According to additional info released alongside the clip, Fetch the Bolt Cutters will feature contributions from indie rock drummer Amy Wood, Latin guitarist Davíd Garza, bassist Sebastian Steinberg, and others.  Also, actress and model Cara Delevingne will provide back vocals for the title song.

While Fiona Apple hasn’t released a new album since 2012’s Grammy-nominated album The Idler Wheel…, she did share a handful of new tracks in recent years. Besides original songs like 2014’s “Container,” Apple also did a number of covers including classic “Don’t Worry ‘Bout Me” and Waterboys’ “The Whole of the Moon.”
