Joan As Police Woman Artist Snapshot:

Joan Wasser was an indie-rock fixture in the '90s, from her time as The Damnbuilders' violinist to her notoriety as Jeff Buckley's girlfriend when he tragically drowned. She was also an in-demand touring and session musician for everyone from Lou Reed to Sheryl Crow. In the early 2000s, Wasser broke out on her own, forming Joan As Policewoman (which now consists of Wasser on vocals, guitar, piano and violins, as well as Timo Ellis on bass and Parker Kindred on drums). Over the course of the group's three records, they have spanned the gamut from hushed folk to ambient chamber pop, garnering contributions from and comparisons to the likes of Rufus Wainwright and Antony And The Johnsons.

Review

Spin (p.96) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[S]he rocks out, detours into eccentric gospel, and offers soulful ballads about love and identity with a mix of skill and passion."
Entertainment Weekly (p.78) - "Wasser's warm, dusky vocals recall Dusty Springfield, and her evocative, incisive lyrics, an early Ricki Lee Jones." -- Grade: B+

Title Note

Joan As Police Woman: Joan Wasser (acoustic guitar); Rainy Orteca (bass guitar); Ben Perowsky (drums).

Additional personnel: Maitrise de Ste.-Marie d'Antony, Charles Burnham (vocals); Doug Wieselman (bass clarinet); Briggan Krauss (baritone saxophone); Steven Bernstein (trumpet); Bryce Goggin (piano); Bryce (Hammond b-3 organ); Jeff Hill (bass guitar); Joseph Arthur (drums).

Joan Wasser sings her jazzy, personal love songs in a fragile, paper-thin voice that recalls both the early-21st-century performer Norah Jones and the 1960s Greenwich Village singer Karen Dalton. "Christobel" is a gothic-tinged love song incorporating a deft violin solo (Wasser has played violin with Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, and the Scissor Sisters, among others), and her duet with Antony, of Antony and the Johnsons, on "I Defy," displays a sensibility that intriguingly combines pop with the avant-garde.
