“Read the Room” is the latest song off of Pearl & The Oysters’ upcoming Stones Throw debut Coast 2 Coast, out April 21st. The band describes the technicolor animation directed by Mickey Miles as “full faux-baroque glam” — a cosmic voyage across space and time, coasts and galaxies — and Pearl & The Oysters’ many inspirations.

“Read the Room” features one of JuJu and JoJo’s all-time favorite musicians — Lætitia Sadier of Stereolab. “We knew straight away that we wanted to work with Lætitia when we had the idea of double-lead vocals,” Juliette and Joachim revealed. “We wanted a heavier guitar track on the album, and looking back, recording these outrageously loud guitars in our tiny Highland Park 1-bedroom during peak covid panic was both an absurd and exhilarating experience. Freedom road!”
Pearl & The Oysters head out on a 27 city tour throughout the U.S. and Canada starting in late April and running through May. Find tour dates and tickets below.
