After three EPs and a few viral videos, the world anxiously awaited a full length from Australia’s Royel Otis. The Sydney duo comprised of Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic delivered a debut well worth the hype with Pratts & Pain. Produced by esteemed indie mastermind Dan Carey (Fontaines D.C., Wet Leg, Foals), the feel-good, breezy album is indie pop perfection. With infectious hooks and smooth baselines, the 13-song collection is sonic sunshine.
Watch Royel Otis perform stripped-down versions of “Sofa King” and “Til The Morning” live at WNXP’s Sonic Cathedral.
