Joan As Police Woman – Lemons,. Limes & Orchids
Critically acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Joan As Police Woman today releases her 10th studio album Lemons, Limes & Orchids via Play It Again Sam. A record which explores love and loss at its core, the body of work functions as a nocturne for the expansion of time.
A crowning showcase of Joan’s artistry in all its metamorphic splendor, the 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 impressive list of collaborators, the accomplished personnel includes the legendary and GRAMMY-Award winning 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.
Alongside the album launch, Joan today shares a new music video for focus track “Remember The Voice,” of which she says:
“This is about memory and how psychedelic it can be. Throughout a day, I might remember flashes of scenery, of someone saying something and the very specific look in their eye, of the feeling of a street corner. Living in the chaos of NYC, spending much of my life on tour, memory feels like a giant tangle of infinitely vast colored strings splaying out like the milky way. Recently I experienced the tangle seem to whip itself into a perfectly shaped ball, as if watching a film run in reverse. All the sounds and smells, flashes and blips found their way to their place in the puzzle. The fleeting feeling of something, anything, making sense is a great joy I hang onto by memorializing it in a song.”
