Limited Edition Clear Vinyl
Joan As Police Woman’s 2006 debut Real Life is a striking first statement — intimate, unguarded, and already fully formed. Written during the years she carved out a space for herself in New York City, the album reflects the resilience of someone who had to build a reputation from the ground up. Before this record, Joan Wasser was best known as a musician’s musician: a collaborator, a player in other people’s worlds, and a close friend of Jeff Buckley. Real Life is the moment she steps forward and claims her own.
 
This edition is pressed on crystal clear vinyl and includes ‘I Defy,’ co-written by and featuring Antony Hegarty (ANOHNI). The album balances raw emotional directness with elegant, carefully arranged songwriting, landing like a late-night confession that somehow knows exactly what you needed to hear. A debut that still feels like a quiet thunderclap.
