Joan As Police Woman

Over the course of Joan’s illustrious 3-decade career, she’s made more than considerable strides building her pedigree as a live act.

Performing with and alongside luminaries likeLou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, Damon Albarn, John Cale, Laurie Anderson, Sufjan Stevens, Anohni, Beck, Toshi Reagonand most notably the late Jeff Buckley, who she has affectionately referred to as her soulmate. When not touring and recording, Joan also teaches atNYU’s prestigious Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music.

Lemons, Limes & Orchids marks Joan As Police Woman’s first project since the 2021 release of The Solution Is Restless; the sprawling collaborative album made with the late Afrobeat pioneer Tony Allen and multi-disciplinary artist Dave Okumu. Sonically spanning afrobeat, jazz, trip-hop, pop-rock and funk, upon its release the album garnered rapturous critical acclaim from The Guardian, NPR, NME, Stereogum, The Line Of Best Fit, CLASH and Rolling Stone Australia. Eventually parlaying into more plaudits from Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and an invitation to play All Points East Festival with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

A crowning showcase of Joan’s artistry in all its metamorphic splendor, this new album sees Joan venture deeper into her jazz influences with further affectations associated with electronic and ambient music. Featuring production and instrumentation from an impressivelist of collaborators, the accomplished personnel includes the legendary and GRAMMY-Awardwinning Meshell Ndegeocello on bass, Chris Bruce (Seal, Trevor Horn, Alanis Morisette) on guitar, Daniel Mintseris (St. Vincent, David Byrne, Elvis Costello & The Imposters) on keys, and Parker Kindred (Jeff Buckley,Liam Gallagher) and Otto Hauser alternating on drums.
