Pearl & the Oysters

Quoting from the Stones Throw website, on the new single by bossa nova & bleeps loving duo Pearl & the Oysters: ‘Sous La Lune Mandarine is “an abstract attempt at describing the horrifying night when the Eaton fire broke out in Los Angeles,” P&tO-members Juju and Jojo say. The fires affected many of Pearl’s friends and collaborators from nearby Altadena.

“Sous la lune mandarine” translates to “under the mandarin moon”, and pays homage to Brazilian-influenced French artists like Cortex and Pierre Barouh – and early 1970s Brazilian music (like Banda Black Rio).

Oddly enough the first French song by Pearl & the Oysters, a duo who met & were born in Paris and then moved to the US. Fun interview HERE
