"Under the Table" comes from Fetch the Bolt Cutters, the album Fiona Apple released in April 2020, and it sounds like a room where the good manners are about to snap. Apple wrote it alone and stacks her own backing vocals behind the lead, while Amy Wood handles drums and percussion with a clattering, homemade feel.
John Would adds organ and Wurlitzer, David Garza drops in vibraphone, and Sebastian Steinberg's bass keeps the whole thing prowling. Wood and Would also recorded it, and Tchad Blake's mix leaves the rough edges right where they are.
