Celsius Drop
12.12.24

Celsius Drop is an exploration of the vast Future Roots music spectrum hosted by dublab co-founder Frosty. Tune-in to reach those outer realms. On this month’s episode, Frosty is joined by special guests Pearl & The Oysters.
Pearl & The Oysters is the French-American duo of Juliette Pearl Davis and Joachim Polack. The pair met at high school in Paris and immediately bonded over their mutual love for ‘70s jazz and ‘90s space age pop. They have been writing and performing together ever since, and moved across the Atlantic together in 2015.
After the release of Coast 2 Coast, their first album for Stones Throw in 2023, the duo are back with a new album Planet Pearl. While Coast 2 Coast documented L.A. with a breezy, AOR-inspired sound, their new album Planet Pearl is extra-terrestrial, written from the perspective of castaway space explorers marooned on Earth. Its heavier subjects include mental health and the feeling of being “literal outsiders everywhere we go”. But no matter how melancholic or alienated they feel, Juju and Jojo always see the fun side, channeling their feelings into “depressed disco” or jazz-pop joy. Planet Pearl is out now on Stones Throw!
