"deeply lysergic, hallucinogenic pop with a twist of glam" - CLASH

The new album “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, channelling their feelings into jazz-pop joy.

"Few bands wear their hearts on their sleeves like Pearl & The Oysters do." - The FADER

“An extremely visual world …a leisurely, sun-soaked trip around the duo’s technicolour paradise.” - Loud & Quiet
