Apple will co-headline Boettcher on Oct. 11 with Blake Mills, part of their 12-date “Anything We Want” tour. Apple and Mills were asked to write three or four sentences about the show for the tour release, and here’s what they came up with:

1) We were sent an assignment to write three or four sentences.

2) These sentences should communicate that we, Fiona Apple & Blake Mills (that’s us), are doing a little tour as a duo.

3) We know it’ll be something special, and we aren’t being coy here — it’s just that we have about 26% of an idea of what the f*** we will be playing for you.

4) It was our understanding that the 4th sentence was optional, but here is something that is true: the uncertainty excites us.

Apple and Mills will play songs from each of their catalogs as well as new, unreleased material in what is being billed as a “collaborative performance.” Mills’ name isn’t as recognizable as Apple’s, but he’s an accomplished player, songwriter and producer who founded a band with the Dawes boys, played with Band of Horses, toured with Lucinda Williams and produced for Sara Watkins.

Fiona Apple announces new tour dates

Anything We Want: An Evening With Fiona Apple & Blake Mills to feature unreleased songs

Remember last week when Fiona Apple premiered a n...Hot Knife" seemingly out of nowhere, and we figured an announcement about the songwriter's new movements would surface soon?

So yeah, Fiona Apple has announced new tour dates, and more specifically, the tour is dubbed Anything We Want: An Evening With Fiona Apple & Blake Mills. Mills toured with Apple on her 2012 tour, though he did not play on her most recent album "The Idler Wheel..." He previously worked with Dawes and has dropped one solo album to date.

Dates kickoff on Oct. 3 and run through the end of that month, with shows out of theaters and performance halls. The concerts themselves are "in development":

In a release, Mills and Apple jointly tried to describe the stint:

1) We were sent an assignment to write three or four sentences.

2) These sentences should communicate that we, Fiona Apple & Blake Mills (that's us), are doing a little tour as a duo.

3) We know it'll be something special, and we aren't being coy here -- it's just that we have about 26% of an idea of what the fuck we will be playing for you.

4) It was our understanding that the 4th sentence was optional, but here is something that is true: the uncertainty excites us.

So, yes, Mills and Apple are touring only as a duo, and the concerts will boast "songs from their respective catalogs as well as some original yet to be released material." Perhaps there's a duets album in their pockets? Fans can keep up with updates about the tour at anythingwewant.us.

Fiona Apple released a ne...s Anderson.

Here are Fiona Apple and Blake Mills' tour dates, with onsales:

Missed her on the Idler tour. Will NOT miss her this time around.

She looks healthy and beautiful in the Hot Knife video.

Can't wait!!!!

I have not had the chance to see her in concert and would be kind of cautious about going. I love her music but from what i have seen of her live performances on video she is really inconsistent and tempermental. I am just glad she seems to be back in the game after having gone missing for too long.

Saw her in Toronto last year on the Idler tour, and it was easily the best concert I attended in 2012. Can't wait to see her here again in October!
