Live session by Pearl & The Oysters recorded at the studios of the radio station KEXP, in Seattle, in 2026. A French-American duo formed by Juliette Davis and Joachim Polack, based in California, Pearl & The Oysters cultivate a bright, dreamy pop, nourished by psychedelic sonorities, vintage electronic textures and a resolutely sunny spirit. This filmed live concert belongs to KEXP’s series of “full performances”, valued for their polished sound and intimate atmosphere. On stage, the duo unfolds tangy melodies, analogue keyboards and soft vocal harmonies, evoking both the Californian pop of the 1960s and 1970s and a contemporary indie sensibility. The capture highlights the finesse of arrangements tastefully assembled, between lightness and refinement. It illustrates the charm of a niche pop, both seductive and demanding, championed by a radio station that has made discovery its trademark. A full concert ideal for fans of indie pop, retro-futuristic sonorities and sunlit atmospheres, worth discovering for the singular and endearing world of a duo with a strong personality.
