Building on the success of Campus, Royel Otis continued to captivate audiences with their August 2022 release, Bar & Grill. The EP further solidified their position as rising stars in the Australian music landscape.
March 2023 witnessed the unveiling of their third EP, Sofa Kings, a compelling collection that garnered attention and acclaim. Following its physical release in July 2023, the EP made a notable impact, securing the duo a spot at number 43 on the ARIA charts.
Their debut album, PRATTS & PAIN, is the culmination of Royel Otis’ musical evolution. Named after the South London pub near Carey’s studio, the album showcases the duo’s penchant for swinging between melodic, pop-inspired indie and woozy psych. The record promises a sonic adventure that moves toward psychedelic weirdness and dissonant noise, keeping listeners on their toes.
