Pearl & The Oysters

Juliette Pearl Davis and Joachim Polack arent just musical collaborators theyre also life partners.

As Pearl & the Oysters, they make songs that speak to eclectic tastes in music and pop culture; 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 local artists and finished up 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 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).

Coast 2 Coast documents Juliette and Joachim's move across the U.S. and the unfamiliar feeling of being settled, having found a 'sense of home in one another.
