Royel Otis are ready to tour EU with new single
'If Our Love Is Dead'
"This duo from Australia, nuts, just NUTS... That project was absolutely flawless"
- Zayne Low, Apple Music
"Australia's next break out indie heroes”
- NME
"It’s an absolute treat of an album that feels nothing short of decadent”
- DORK
"‘PRATTS & PAIN’ is a leap forward sonically, but it’s also Royel Otis being comfortable with their sound being as eclectic as they are"
- CLASH
“They’ve crafted an indie-leaning palette and youthful exuberance that is fit for your favourite coming-of-age dramas”
- The Line Of Best Fit
“a collection of sweet, melodic pop that harkens back to the halcyon era of 2000s and 2010s indie. Built around skeletal arrangements and easy melodies, this is unassuming, smartly crafted pop.”
- The FADER
Sydney’s globally skyrocketing duo Royel Otis releases the deluxe edition of their critically acclaimed debut album 'PRATTS & PAIN - It Ain’t Over Til It Ends' with new single 'If Our Love Is Dead' via Ourness.
The new release follows a huge summer for the pair - seeing them play to crowds across Europe including Primavera, TRSNMT, Sziget, Kendal Calling, Green Man and Boardmasters - and comes shortly after the announcement of a completely sold out UK tour in this year. By the end of 2024, their full European run will have them performing for over 30,000 fans, pushing their total headline audiences this year alone to an incredible 100,000+.
Warm and compelling, today’s single release wrestles with the delicacy of a fading romance. Members Otis Pavlovic and Royel Maddell question whether to cling to a love that has dimmed or to courageously embrace the possibility of moving on, opening up space for listeners to contemplate their own experiences. Produced by GRAMMY Award-winner Mikey Freedom Hart (Bleachers, Lana Del Rey), Royel Otis pull out some of their most vibrant instrumental work to-date, layering crashing hooks, captivating guitar lines and Otis’ signature choruses into a stadium-sized anthem.
Royel Otis say on the single: “‘If Our Love Is Dead’ was born out of that feeling when you've been with someone for a while and you're not sure if the spark is still there. You're like... If it's dead and it's not there, then what are we holding on to? What are we doing it for? Are we doing it for the sake of just sticking it out, or do we actually just want to cut paths and move on with things?”
The deluxe album release follows the grand ARIA reveal that saw Royel Otis named the highest nominated artist for the upcoming 2024 Awards, having accumulated an incredible eight nominations.
Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dan Carey (Wet Leg), 'PRATTS & PAIN' garnered worldwide critical acclaim among BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, Matt Wilkinson at Apple Music 1, Clash and NME, (alongside magazine covers at home and in the UK). Amassing over half a billion streams across their discography with 400 million of those occurring in the last 12 months, Royel Otis have covered global playlists on Spotify and Apple Music, plus accumulated 9M+ monthly listeners on Spotify.
