about

The Black Pearl is a neighborhood in New Orleans enclosed by Audubon Park, St. Charles, and the Mississippi River levee. It’s history is a rich tapestry of changing hands, family names lost to time. City planners and property developers attempted to shape the triangular neighborhood into a reflection of its surroundings and era, of their needs and desires for prosperity. But inside the people of the small, isolated community, there existed a power reaching farther back than the names of its streets. Long before an arbitrary value was placed on the land, the people of the Black Pearl would walk slowly into the water, commune with the river, taking their secrets back and forth. It is whispered that they continue to swim in their rituals, late at night as the calls of the barges echo against the crown of the levees.

Tracks 1,2, 11, 12, 13, & 14 were originally recorded for Data Cult Audio's experimental podcast (Data Cult Audio 0092) released January 19th, 2019.

The photo of the Zion Traveler's First Baptist Church found on the cover art was taken by Infrogmation of New Orleans and is used with permission. They are a longtime contributor to Wikimedia commons and more of their photography can be found there.
