Pearl & The Oysters is the French-American duo of Juliette Pearl Davis and Joachim Polack. The pair met at high school in Paris and immediately bonded over their mutual love for ‘70s jazz and ‘90s space age pop. They have been writing and performing together ever since, and moved across the Atlantic together in 2015.
After four years immersed in the open-minded DIY scene of Gainesville, Florida, Pearl & The Oysters headed to Los Angeles, where they connected with local artists and finished up their latest album Coast 2 Coast, released earlier this year on Stones Throw.
Coast 2 Coast is a colorful cocktail of sounds and aesthetics: the swamps of Florida and sandy L.A. beaches under a mirrorball sun; a radio picking up a faraway broadcast before tuning into an oldies pop station; crashing waves that melt into the sound of Juliette’s white noise machine. Guests on the album include Lætitia Sadier (Stereolab), Riley Geare (Unknown Mortal Orchestra), Alan Palomo (Neon Indian), Dent May, and Alex Brettin (Mild High Club).
Following the release of Coast 2 Coast, the duo has been touring the world and supporting artists including TV Girl and Babe Rainbow. They are also set to release an EP of remixes from the album at the end of 2023, with remixes from their friends and favourite musicians Salami Rose Joe Louis, Vicky Farewell and many more!
