The swelling of the vast and lonely Ocean teeming with life forms yet unbeknownst, gin, abundance, oysters blossoming with aching beauty to reveal their diamond encrusted hearts, and mermaids. Also, mermaids.
Tremendous thanks to the Goddamn Cobras Collective for their amazing video and hard work! And high fives and cookes.
........................................................................................................ WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
"Sweet, gentle and scrumptious, the music of Brooklyn trio Pearl and the Beard conjures up lazy summer afternoons at just the time we need that kind of thing most. The group consists of just three souls—Jocelyn Mackenzie, Emily Hope Price and Jeremy Styles—but its sophisticated vocal harmonies and crafty arrangements make a big impression on the combo’s recently issued debut CD, God Bless Your Weary Soul, Amanda Richardson." -Time Out New York
"The Brooklyn, NY-based trio Pearl and the Beard are known for infusing a little happiness into their dark and alluring folk songs."
-John Schaefer, WNYC
"Pearl and the Beard play lovely, thoughtful folk ballads that are perfect for cozy, lazy Sundays. Each musician is also an exceptionally talented vocalist, and the rich vocal melodies are carefully arranged around warm harmonies. There is a wide range of mood and emotion captured here, from soothing to brooding, with just a touch of Gothic drama. This is really exceptional songwriting, and the interplay between vocalists reminds me of Dirty Projectors more than any traditional folk act. -Flagpole Magazine
"The Brooklyn trio... features silky, three-part vocal harmonies, equally alluring and arresting. Blending campfire folk with damaged marching band dirges, this group of NYC folksters has stumbled upon a new, happier breed of freak folk... Behind the group’s charming veneer are moving, honest stories wrapped in gut-churning cello, propelled by melodies that burrow themselves into your brain and call it home." -Beyond Race Magazine
"Pearl and the Beard are creative and talented, especially when it comes to the combining of individual ability to produce the greatest outcome." -Knocks from the Underground
"Pearl and the Beard is modern folk at its most graceful. Sans pretense and fresh with tangled harmonies... their simple lyrics are lifted with airy, soul-turning melodies yet reasoned by earthy sounds. It’s unique and exceptional." -The SoHo Journal
"...Good, honest, sweet and soft... the interplay between the singers is the highlight of this act's potential." -The Deli Magazine
"Quirky Brooklyn folk trio Pearl and the Beard... is a breath of fresh air in New York's cluttered music scene, and they're well on their way to success" -BreakThru Radio
"Pearl and the Beard’s gentle folk melodies and graceful, cohesive harmonies beg to be listened to in a homey log cabin somewhere. ...Using household items like benches, keys, and a washing machine to create unique organic sounds, the pair... created a four-song set of gorgeous gentle folk melodies, traced by soft entangled vocals. All four tracks are stunning... The full-length will be eagerly anticipated." -Rebel Spirit Music
"Emerging from that musical wilderness of Brooklyn, NYC, Pearl and the Beard are combing America's past for their inspiration, producing energetic throaty roots music best enjoyed in an intimate live setting." -SPLICETODAY.com
"The Brooklyn band Pearl and the Beard performs percussive, cello-backed folk in
rounds, and in harmony- almost like something you'd hear at a...
festival." -The Boston Globe
"...A soaring, stomping celebration of sound that warms both heart and
toes." -Urban Folk Magazine
Pearl and the Beard is three voices, one cello, one guitar, one glockenspiel, one melodica, several drums, one accordion, ninety-six teeth, and one soul.
Former strangers Jocelyn Mackenzie, Emily Hope Price, and Jeremy Styles were united in the great city of New York. Each had migrated there from a far corner of the nation with naught but food in their pockets and money in their bellies. Each had the same true love. Since then the three have nested, and their unique brand of brightly melodic songcraft continues to blossom of its own accord.
Pearl and the Beard loves you the way you've always been.
