Joan As Police Woman presents new single, "Full Time Heist"
New York City-based musician and singer-songwriter Joan As Police Woman has returned with a new track “Full Time Heist”, as the third single from her forthcoming album Lemons, Limes & Orchids.
The lyrics examine the fickle trappings of celebrity without judgment. Speaking on her original inspiration, Joan As Police Woman said: “‘Full-Time Heist’ is about an attempted bank robbery. The bank, in this case, is truth. The hook of the song uses the phrase “pull the wool over one’s eyes”. The etymology comes from 18th century wig-wearing gentlemen. Thieves would try to steal from them by pulling their massive wigs over their eyes. ‘You think if you insist enough, someone will believe you, well sadly you’re right. Few think for themselves and you can use that, few think for themselves.”
Lemons, Limes & Orchids will mark Joan As Police Woman’s first project since the 2021 release of The Solution Is Restless. In October she’ll be embarking on her own European headline tour which will see her play London’s Union Chapel, as well as dates in Glasgow, Manchester, Berlin, Paris, and more.
Lemons, Limes & Orchids is set for release on 20 September via PIAS, and is available to pre-order now.
