Pearl & the Oysters is the French-American duo of Joachim Polack and Juliette Davis. Using a kitchen sink's worth of instruments, calling in sympathetic musicians, and showing off a very light melodic sensibility, the band's first two albums (w/pearl & the oysters and Canned Music) were breezy and delightful space age pop. The pair met in high school in Paris and bonded over their mutual love for such seemingly unrelated acts as Burt Bacharach, the Pixies, Chico Buarque, or the Zombies. While studying musicology at the Sorbonne and attending jazz school, they began working on a sound that was equally influenced by space age pop of the '50s (as well as its revival in the '90s by bands like Stereolab), and the inspired simplicity of Love You-era Beach Boys. The duo relocated to Los Angeles in 2020 where they added the finishing touches on P&TO’s third studio album, Flowerland, to be released in 2021 via Feeltrip Records.
