Joan As Policewoman is New Englander Joan Wasser's vehicle for putting a sound to her two biggest influences: classic soul (Stevie Wonder, Al Green and Marvin Gaye) and experimental rock (Sonic Youth). This is her fourth full length in 5 years. She describes her music as Punk Rock R&B or American Soul. Who am I to argue? This album has jumped comfortably into my Top 5 so far this year, tied with the Foo Fighters (although a totally different sound). In almost every song you can find very cool, subtle sounds drifting through the background. Maybe a vocal, a guitar or even a clarinet.
I was absolutely blown away by the song The Magic. (Do yourself a favor, once you click the link and the video starts to play, listen, don't watch.) I also loved the trippy Flash.
I highly recommend you give this a listen.
