THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “The 12th Joan As Police Woman studio album, Lemons, Limes, and Orchids is a crowning showcase of Joan’s voice in all its metamorphic splendour.
“I was ready to make an album that truly featured my voice,” says Joan Wasser. “The basics were recorded like they used to be — with me singing live along with the band. My good friend told me this is the sexiest album I’ve ever made. Honestly, I think she’s right.”
The record is a nocturne about love and loss — what else is there? — and a reckoning with our collective disorientation, part hymn to holding on and part benediction of letting go.
Joan has toured the globe, performing in dive bars and symphony halls, at independent music festivals and on the BBC, and has collaborated with a kaleidoscope of luminaries, including Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, Tony Allen, Damon Albarn, John Cale, Laurie Anderson, Sufjan Stevens, Anohni, Beck, Meshell Ndegeocello, Toshi Reagon, David Byrne and Daniel Johnston. She teaches at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, lives in Brooklyn, and loves the world.”
