Joan As Police Woman: Lemons, Limes and Orchids review stripped back songs of love and loss
Briefly

On this 12th album, Wasser finally releases all that pent-up emotion, focusing on love and loss through stripped back, nocturnal songs that ebb and flow.
On the lilting Full-Time Heist, Wasser slinks softly around a simple click beat and piano trills, while Oh Joan showcases her high-wire falsetto.
The Dream, built around a loop of Wasser's sighs, is eerily off-kilter, showing how she flirts with R&B grooves on Back Again.
Overall, Wasser is happiest when delicately pondering life's elemental truths, like a torch singer just about holding on.
