I was in two bands before I started my solo project, so have more or less spent the last 10 years of my life on the road and making records.Īndrew: What first sparked your interest in making music? I started piano lessons and musical theatre when I was five and as I got older gravitated more towards songwriting and playing guitar. Pearl: I’ve been playing music since I was very young. What was your musical gateway so to speak? We also decided to move out to the desert for a little while and have been building a home studio out here while work back in LA is slow, so that’s been a saving grace of this time.Īndrew: Tell us about your backstory. Pearl: Thank you for having me and helping get the word out about the album! This last year has most definitely been rough, but I’ve been lucky enough to be quarantined with my boyfriend and musical partner Michael Rault, so we’ve been able to stay busy and creative despite not being able to tour. This last year has been rough, right? How are you holding up during this seemingly ever-raging dumpster fire? Dig it.Īndrew: Pearl, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. After you’ve done that, and told all your friends as well, give this cool interview with Pearl a read through. If you are intrigued and want to learn more, head over to Pearl’s Bandcamp here and grab Magic Mirror. It’s great at night and it’s perfect for morning. It’s great for long drives to nowhere on a weekend, or for a quick jaunt to the store. It’s good in the summer, fall, spring, or winter. The music of Pearl Charles is good “any time” music. So, if you’re wondering if it’s a keeper for the collection, I’ll save you the suspense- it is. This is what I look for these days when I put on a new record. I am relatively new to Pearl’s music, but I can say after a few listens of her new record Magic Mirror, that her retro aesthetic and Pop, Soul, Psych blend of Indie really and truly appeals to me. Now that I’ve said all that, let’s talk about Magic Mirror by Pearl Charles. So, with that being said, if it’s not top-notch…if it’s not something I see myself listening to again and again, I am no longer keeping it around. Yes, I am to the point where I am starting to very seriously assess if any given piece of physical media will remain in my house. So, what’s the point? The point is that for something new to really catch my ear and not get caught up in the jumble of notes I have ratting around it my head, it really needs to be something. I listen on vinyl, CD, and cassette as well as MP3. I listen to a lot of music both new and old.
