French-born, Florida-based group Pearl and the Oysters weave together the sounds and vibes of their native home and their new one, with peppy, preppy electronics sharing sunlit space with surf-stoned melodies. The band’s latest album, Canned Music, out late last year via Burger Records, serves up 14 tasty morsels of lo-fi pop goodness. The outer-space-themed record finds the group exploring “our conception of Florida as a foreign, unexplored planet,” according to member Joachim Polack. The Oysters play Athens on Monday evening with local support from doo-wop cuties Baby Tony and the Teenies, psych-pop standout Locate S,1 and beat-driven experimenter Midnight Boi.
