Ten years since the release of her debut album 'REAL LIFE', JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN returns, this time working alongside fellow Brooklynite BENJAMIN LAZAR DAVIS.

Praise for JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN’s previous work has been universally enthusiastic and the new record promises even more 

"Soulful adventurism - a voice so wonderous and moving it makes everyone else's seem ordinary and mundane" - THE GUARDIAN 

"Ravishing and lovelorn"  - MOJO

"The coolest woman in pop"  - THE TIMES

"Joyously cathartic as well as musically stunning" - UNCUT


A pair of videos have been filmed for two songs from the album,  'BROKE ME IN TWO’ and 'OVERLOADED'. The videos star FRED ARMISEN of Portlandia / Saturday Night Live-fame alongside Joan and Ben. [Joan and Fred have been firm friends since playing in THOSE BASTARD SOULS together in the mid 90s along with STEVEN DROZD of THE FLAMING LIPS.

A true collaboration from studio to stage, from two musicians well known for their ability to effortlessly cross musical genres.  A deeply soulful artist Joan has worked with Antony and the Johnsons (Anohni), Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed, David Sylvian, RZA, Elvis Costello (amongst many others) and Benjamin is talented multi-instrumentalist who currently performs with Okkervil River, Cuddle Magic and Bridget Kearney.
JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN & BENJAMIN LAZAR DAVIS LIVE! 

Performing with a full band, JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN and BENJAMIN LAZAR DAVIS will showcase songs from the new album and re-imagine landmark recordings from the four previous JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN albums (Real Life, To Survive, The Deep Field, The Classic).

Joan and Ben met each other after separate trips to Africa; Ethiopia for Joan as part of DAMON ALBARN'S AFRICA EXPRESS, and West Africa for Lazar to study traditional music. They initially bonded over Central African Republic Pygmy musical patterns and ended up writing this album together loosely inspired by this music.
