Teal Pop

Juliette Pearl Davis and Joachim Polack arent just musical collaborators theyre also life partners. As Pearl as Juju and Jojo, theyre kindred spirits. What began as a high-school friendship in Paris blossomed into a creative and personal relationship that has spanned decades and continents.In another life, Juliette and Joachim made pop music in Paris but when the opportunity arose, the pair skipped town for the U.S. After four years immersed in the open-minded DIY scene of Gainesville, Florida, Pearl & The Oysters headed to Los Angeles, where they connected with artists including Mild High Club and Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab, and finished up their new record, Coast 2 Coast.Coast 2 Coast draws on this experience for its colorful cocktail of sounds: 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 Juliettes white noise machine. It documents Juliette and Joachims move across the U.S. and the unfamiliar feeling of being settled, having found a sense of home in one another. Coast 2 Coast is out 21 April on Stones Throw.
