Fiona Apple announces title for first album in seven years

(CBS News) It's been seven years since Fiona Apple has released a new studio album, and apparently she's been making up for lost time -- with a very long album title.

According to the "Criminal" singer's Facebook page, the album title is a whopping 23-words-long: "The Idler Wheel is wiser than the Driver of the Screw, and Whipping Cords will serve you more than Ropes will ever do."

Lengthy album titles are nothing new for Apple, whose sophomore release featured an eight-line poem that fans simply call "When the Pawn..."

Perhaps Apple's new album will be streamlined to "The Idler Wheel..."

There's no release date yet for the singer-songwriter's new effort, the follow-up to 2005's "Extraordinary Machine." But some reports suggest it will be out this June.

The 34-year-old Apple has a string of shows lined up this month, her first official tour dates in five years.

As for Apple's personal life, she's been dating author and "Bored to Death" creator Jonathan Ames.
