Info for Lemons, Limes and Orchids

Joan As Police Woman's twelfth studio album ‘Lemons, Limes, and Orchids’ is a crowning display of her voice in all its metamorphic splendour. ‘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 said 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 and a reckoning with our collective disorientation, between holding on and letting go.

Joan has toured the world, performed in dives and concert halls, at independent music festivals and on the BBC, and collaborated with a host of celebrities 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 has participated in three Africa Express projects, teaches at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU, lives in Brooklyn and loves the world.
