This video for Hot Knife, from Fiona Apple‘s most recent record, The Idler Wheel . . . , is the product of a collaboration between Apple and filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.
Hot Knife is one of my favorite songs on The Idler Wheel . . . , mainly because it has multitudes of interlocking layers and an insistent, urgent heart. Here, Anderson and Apple have made a video for it that illustrates and illuminates both the layers and the urgency, and showcases Apple’s magnificent voice.
