Pearl & The Oysters

Pearl & the Oysters are a sophisticated pop band who moved from France to Florida to California; wherever Joachim Polack and Juliette Davis end up, their endearingly retro, sweetly sentimental songs and sound are likely to follow. 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 were breezy and delightful space age pop that fold in soft rock and jazz influences. 2021's Flowerland was fittingly nostalgic and summery, made before they decamped to California, where they picked right up with a pair of even breezier-sounding releases, 2023's Coast 2 Coast and 2024's Planet Pearl. 2026's Monkey Mind is a slightly more subdued album, written and recorded in the wake of the L.A. wildfires the year before.
