Royel Otis have shared another new track called “Car” alongside the news that their sophomore studio album, “hickey”, will arrive on August 22nd. The single was co-written by the band (Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic) with writer/producers Blake Slatkin and Omer Fedi. The track is a lo-fi jangly pop cut with a chorus that looks in the rear view on days of yore. It strikes that nostalgia nerve in all the right ways as Pavlovic sings: “Yeah, I’ll meet you in the car on the corner / But we know it’s gotta change sometime / You know I love the taste of your water / But I think it’s time to say goodbye.”
The Sydney indie-pop duo Royel Otis are facing criticism following the release of their new single ‘Moody’, with some listeners accusing the band of using misogynistic language in the track and allegedly deleting online comments calling them out for it.
The band also recently announced an upcoming tour in support of the new material which will find them initially headlining cities across North America.
