Pearl &\; The O ysters\, the duo of Juliette Pearl Davis (Juju) and Joachim Polack (Jojo)\ , formed a decade ago in Paris\, where they lived until they were young ad ults. Together\, they make music a lot like their current base of Los Ange les: sunny on the surface\, darker and more layered at its roots. Their fi zzy\, squiggly lounge pop – now leaning toward ‘70s piano rock as well as Brazilian\, exotica and city pop influences – asks how to live with uncertainty and disquiet. \;
In January 2025\, as Trum
p’s second inauguration loomed and wildfires raged through LA. Juju stay
ed up all night crying. The next morning\, she woke to find that Jojo had
written a song for her\, “Wide Awake\,” a calm offering in the midst o
f panic. From that moment\, the process of creating Monkey Mindstrong.echo{background-image:url('/assets/d4899f9c/images/experience-

Pearl &\; The Oysters’ new album Monkey Mind takes its title from the Buddhist concept of a restl ess\, looping consciousness: thoughts jumping\, spiraling and rarely settl ing. Produced by Jonathan Rado (Weyes Blood\, The Lemon Twigs\, Father Joh n Misty)\, the record follows that cycle across the span of a day\, beginn ing in a state of calm before the mind wakes up\, gathers speed\, and even tually softens again.
