'Achingly beautiful' (The Word), 'Soulful Perfection' (The Observer), 'Sublime' (Q), 'Stunning' (Metro) and 'a voice so wondrous and moving that it makes everyone else's seem ordinary and mundane' (The Guardian) – Joan As Police Woman's debut album, 'Real Life', was universally acclaimed. Two years since this critical and commercial success comes the much anticipated follow-up, 'To Survive'.

'Real Life' brought Joan Wasser out of the shadows and established her as that rare thing, a truly unique and original voice. Songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist, Joan has bewitched fans across Europe and the US over the last two years and is set to garner a wealth of new devotees with 'To Survive'.

An album of unashamedly heartfelt songs, in Joan's words, "I am always trying to dig deeper into the emotional experience. I want to access the most honest place I can, distill it and present it in a way that makes sense musically."
