At the Helm presents…Pearl and the Oysters | Gabriel Da Rosa | Pique
Pearl & the Oysters, international adventurers in eclectic pop, crash-landed their starship in Los Angeles in the year 2020. Born and schooled in Paris, the couple launched a nomadic romance fueled by music that would later see them crooning in New York jazz clubs, then wading the swampy waters of American DIY art rock in Gainesville, Florida. Today in L.A., the band’s evolving sound complements a buoyant moment in a scene where their brand of space age jazz-pop is more than welcome.
Juliette Pearl Davis and Joachim Polack met on the first day of high school in Paris – bespectacled Juju and curly-haired Jojo, both music-obsessed, nerdy, and drawn together by a “poetic connection” and mutual heroes unusual for high schoolers, like Burt Bacharach, Kurt Weill and especially, AntĂ´nio Carlos Jobim. “It’s very French of us to be into Brazil, but like, 1960s-French,” said Joachim. “When we were kids, it wasn’t that cool.”
At college, pursuing musicology degrees at the Sorbonne, a romantic connection emerged. Today, Juliette and Joachim’s shared journey as love partners and music-makers gifts listeners with a rare experience in pop music – the output of a near-telepathic musical language grown over decades of 24/7 connection and collaboration.
