Pop duo Pearl & The Oysters will unveil their new studio album Flowerland this summer.

Announced today, the 14-track release will be out on September 3 via Feeltrip Records in North America and Tip Top Recordings everywhere else. The first single from the release titled “Treasure Island” can be heard below. The act said this about their tropical new tune:

"Treasure Island is the name of a beloved beach town on the Gulf Coast of Florida. The TI beachfront is home to a number of pretty iconic 1950s roadside architectural landmarks, like the Thunderbird Resort’s oversize neon sign, which we reference in the opening line of the song. It’s not a hidden-getaway type of spot but to us that beach always radiated a kind of magical healing energy. This song—whose basic rhythm track was composed and recorded in a 10-minute span at Rockaway studio in December 2018—was our humble attempt at bottling Treasure Island’s atmosphere, in musical form. Featuring “the funkiest drum machine ever,” according to Shags."

“Treasure Island” is available on all digital services right now. More music from the release will be unveiled soon. Flowerland is the follow-up to the band’s 2018 studio album Canned Music.
