Listen "Joan as Police Woman's musical heroes"
Episode Synopsis
Joan Wasser is prolific. As a musician, collaborator, and instrumentalist, she’s one of those people who needs to create to feel alive. Her career began in bands like The Dambuilders, before she lobbed in on records from Antony & the Johnsons and found her own voice as Joan as Policewoman.And what a voice it is; its warm snarl captures everyone who hears it, and it’s the same when she talks. There’s something very magnetic about Joan. Which is why I will always be excited to talk music with her, and heroes. From Nina Simone to James Blake to Rufus Wainwright, this is a beautiful conversation about the love of art, from a great artist herself.Tony Allen - ‘Go Back [Ft. Damon Albarn]’Nina Simone - ‘I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free’Krystle Warren & The Faculty - ‘If It Wasn’t For The Lake’James Blake - ‘Retrograde’Rufus Wainwright - ‘The Art Teacher'
