The angsty singer-songwriter’s long-gestating Extraordinary Machine will hit stores Oct. 4, her label, Epic Records, announced Monday, ending months of speculation that the disc would never be officially released after multiple tracks were leaked online last year… To appease fans and to hype the new release, Epic has launched Fiona-Apple.com, which features artwork from Extraordinary Machine and two songs, “O’ Sailor” and “Parting Gift.” The site also features a contest with prizes including free CDs and concert tickets… Meanwhile, the mystery of the leaked album might never be solved. Only a few people had access to the masters — including Apple, Brion and a handful of recording engineers — and no one has taken responsibility. source
