Joan As Police Woman / Lemons, Limes and Orchids

New studio album

Joan As Police Woman / Lemon, Limes and Orchids

Joan As Police Woman (aka Joan Wasser) issues a new studio album, Lemons, Limes and Orchids, next month.

The album follows 2021’s collaborative The Solution is Restless, 2020’s Cover Two and Damned Devotion from 2018 (read SDE’s interview with Joan here).

Joan says the following about Lemons, Limes, and Orchids: “I was ready to make an album that truly featured my voice. 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.

‘Long For Ruin’ from Lemons, Limes and Orchids

The record is described as “a nocturne about love and loss and a reckoning with our collective disorientation, part hymn to holding on and part benediction of letting go”. It can be pre-ordered on CD or tangerine-coloured vinyl.

Lemons, Limes and Orchids will be released on 20 September, via PIAS.

Nice price for the vinyl in France. Just pre-ordered it. Really looking forward to it. Highly underrated bij many.

Thrilled to see Joan featured here. I initially discovered her in 2006 via her work on Trey Anastasio’s Bar 17 album. Her Real Life album continues to remain in heavy rotation here. I think she and Trey have each had albums produced by Bryce Goggin at Trout. Looking forward to this.

Wish the Sylvian/Joan duets album would see the light of day. There are a couple of tracks floating around off it, both in demo form. Conventional beautiful songs – ‘Beautiful Country’ & ‘Tear Me Apart’ (David put these up them quickly took them down).

I actually first got into Joan after spotting his credit on her ‘Honor My Wishes’ track (2008), and then of course there’s their duet ‘Deadman’ off Steve Jansen’s excellent ‘Slope’ album (which contain one if his best tracks ever – ‘Playground Martyrs’).

I was wondering why you hadn’t mentioned this earlier Paul, guess you’ve been busy!
