Pearl & The Oysters - Coast 2 Coast Remixes

Pearl & The Oysters‘ Stones Throw debut Coast 2 Coast released back in April and now Juju and Jojo are calling upon some of their favorite musicians and collaborators to remix tracks from the record for their upcoming Coast 2 Coast Remixes EP, out now.

For the first song, the duo reached out to Los Angeles artist Vicky Farewell for a bubble pop version of “Fireflies”. Where Coast 2 Coast sees the morning sun rise over swamps of Florida and sandy L.A. beaches, Coast 2 Coast Remixes captures the duo at night, sipping colorful cocktails while watching rockets land on the moon.

Next up: Salami Rose Joe Louis’ remix of “Loading Screen”, a track about “screen addiction and over-stimulation in the www age.” Using her studies in planetary sciences as inspiration, Louis explores ideas of multiverses and climate change in her music. She shares this concern with Pearl & The Oysters, who express anxiety about the state of the planet throughout Coast 2 Coast.

Friend and labelmate Jerry Paper shared their remix of “Konami”, a song which was originally inspired by Juliette’s white noise machine used to overcome restless nights. Pearl & The Oysters have been friends with Jerry Paper since they moved to L.A., and supported them on tour in the US which is where Paper first heard the song.

1. Fireflies (Vicky Farewell Remix)
2. Moon Canyon Park (The High Llamas Remix)
