Sydney’s globally skyrocketing duo Royel Otis releases one of the two bonus tracks from their Top 10 ARIA-charting debut album "PRATTS & PAIN" - “Claw Foot.”
ThIs new single “Claw Foot”, has a sense of optimism with its strength in numbers chorus and call to face life’s obstacles head on - to stop procrastinating and giving into every wish and whim along the way.
Leading into a busy summer with newly announced European headline shows this autumn, a sold out US headline tour, a support tour with Kaiser Chiefs and a string of key festivals the band continue their rapid ascension. Following debut LP "PRATTS & PAIN" the duo appeared on Triple J’s Like a Version where they covered Sophie Ellis Bextor’s ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’, the cover recently went gold and is now #9 on Billboard’s Airplay Rock & Alternative charts.
Produced with the GRAMMY Award-winning, Dan Carey, the debut LP, "PRATTS & PAIN" was named after the South London pub that sits around the corner from Carey’s famed home studio, the duo often finished lyrics and made sonic directions over a pint on a Pratts & Payne bar stool. Their resulting efforts swing between 13 tracks of melodic, pop-inspired indie and woozy psych that never stays to one lane. Handbraking towards psychedelic weirdness and dissonant noise, Royel Otis have no issue keeping all who listen on their toes.
