Breezy and galactic jazzpop

Pearl & The Oysters is the French-American duo of Juliette Pearl Davis (Juju) and Joachim Polack (Jojo). The pair met at high school in Paris and immediately bonded over their mutual love for ‘70s jazz and ‘90s space age pop. Their creative and romantic partnership has held strong through college and jazz school, their musicology studies at the Sorbonne, and beyond as the band moved to America.

While their earlier albums documented Juju and Jojo’s lives in Florida and L.A., Planet Pearl is extra-terrestrial, written from the perspective of castaway space explorers marooned on Earth. Its themes include mental health and the feeling of being “literal outsiders everywhere we go”. Though no matter how melancholic or alienated they feel, Juju and Jojo always see the fun side, channeling their feelings into jazz-pop joy.
