The mercury is rising (at least we hope it will soon 🤞) and RoyelOtis is here with the soundtrack to your spring/summer: ‘80s-fueled guitar-driven songs that swerve into yacht rock, jangle pop, or beach music at a moment’s notice 🎸🌊
don’t sing about love, and the band will tell you that this is intentional. “We set out to not write as many romantic songs,” says Royell Maddell, one-half of the Aussie indie duo that includes bandmate Otis Pavolvic. “We've still got them, but we've just tried to mess it up a bit.” Since their 2021 debut EP,,” the band’s big unexpected hit, a brightly hued ode to throwing all your cares away that sounds like the closing scene of your favorite John Hughes film.
But listen closely, and even in the joy, the wanting for connection is still there. On “Oysters,” there’s a breezing carelessness to rejection: “Tried to give my number away / But I haven’t heard much.” On “Bull Breed,” which relives the euphoria of a night filled with drugs and alcohol, the yell of “But I still miss ya!” feels like a Freudian slip. “That song’s not romantic at all,” Royel admits. “The lyric was kind of a joke.
: “Should've known by the way I'm throwing down for you / Should've known by the way I'm looking out / That I don't know myself banging over you / That I don't know myself hanging it over you”“You’re messing it up because you've again drunk a bit too much or something. And you're just trying to drink a little bit to get that confidence, but you took it way too far and you're stumbling over everywhere, but still a little bit of charm still gets through.
