Pearl & the Oysters

Pearl & The Oysters – Juliette Pearl Davis (Juju) and Joachim Polack (Jojo) – met on their first day of high school in Paris, and have been together ever since. 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 Pearl & The Oysters’ 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.
