5.0 out of 5 stars ...As essential as her albums, September 12, 2008

By	JRL "The Vigilante" (MI USA) - See all my reviews

Many would regard Joan As Police Woman's Real Life album (2006) to be her debut. But this little self-titled EP proves otherwise. According to her, these 5 tracks (plus one "bonus" track) are what led to her inevitable label signing. If you're a fan of Joan Wasser's records, this EP is equally outstanding to 2008's To Survive, and Real Life. But it's altogether a different beast than her two albums. Heavy wurlitzer's collide orgasmically with indie-Interpol-guitar rock stylings, and it helps that most everything Joan delivers is brilliant.

There's no denying the energy of this mini-album is similar to PJ Harvey's New York inspired "Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea," and that's a huge and well-deserved compliment. Joan is quite a musical force to be reckoned with. Too bad this EP is so expensive (UK only) but it's worth every cent, if at least to complete the unfolding Joan As Police Woman story, thus far.
