Pearl Earl - Pearl Earl

The band’s debut full length and self titled album was recorded in Dallas at Elmwood Recording by Alex Bhore and Brack Cantrell. Mastering was handled by Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters. Hartley, Chapman, and Lazcano began recording the album in August 2016, with Danielle joining the band after its completion. Hartley is the key songwriter of the evolving project with each song coming into its own with the rest of the band. The songs on the album are each their own animal; where “Star in the Sky” dives into an epic ode to prog rock with accenting flutes and space soundtrack synths, “Take A Shot” explores a tongue and cheek almost doo-wop, organ ornamented pop song with a double entendre. The psychedelic spaghetti western style and funk in “Captain Howdy” will dance you into confusion when the time signature and key change takes a twist; and “I Know” will leave you feeling soft and somber for the album’s finale. The lyrical content ranges from whimsical characters to introspection and moving forward to internal anxiety about the state of America. With influences from many eras of music, Pearl Earl has the power to transmit you to the past and the future and back again.
