If there’s a band currently having as much fun as Royel Otis, we’re yet to find them. Australian duo Royel Madden and Otis Pavlovic have built a name for themselves with lively guitar-pop that never tries to take itself too seriously, and now they’ve swapped Sydney for south London to become one of the few non-UK acts to work with in-demand producer Dan Carey [Wet Leg, Foals]. The result, their debut album ‘Pratts & Pain’, is every bit the ray of sunshine we’ve come to expect from the pair behind the infectious, Passion Pit-like hit ‘Oysters In My Pocket’.

On the surface, little has changed within their sound. Here, Pavlovic’s vocals are as breezy as ever, while Madden’s fluid bass grooves keep everything flowing. Standout ‘Sonic Blue’ is as catchy as anything the NME 100 graduates have put out before. Yet dig beneath the album’s surface – the brief shrieks of distortion in ‘Adored’; the ramshackle piano keeping rhythm in ‘Velvet’ – and you can see the pair pushing beyond their comfort zone.
