Royel Otis 'Kool Aid'
Sydney-based dream-pop duo Royel Otis have released "Kool Aid", a sweet slice of genre-blending indie pop that brings together electro-dance, jangling guitars and overarching pop melodies.
The band explains the new single is about "The moment after years of being smitten by the coolest girl on the street she notices you".
"She's a little older and has all the rumours about her going around but for some reason she is entertained by you and wants to teach you new tricks."
"Although she walks all over you it gives you a new strut and lifts your street cred."
"If Bruce Lee and Springsteen had a baby, 'Kool Aid' would be it. Called Bruce. Bruce Lee slicing the guitar 'Jeet Kune Do' style with a heartland rock type feel like from the boss himself."
Childhood friends and now songwriting dream team Royel Otis (aka Otis Pavlovic and Royel Maddell) released their debut EP, Campus, last year leaning into the band's organic, nostalgic sound, bringing a swooning psychedelic edge to proceedings for extra-added blissfulness.
With the dream pop flow fully nailed, the pair wanted to get a little looser, a little edgier. That's just what they did on the latest EP, Bar n Grill, which saw them swapping synths for guitars and making everything that much grittier, while still showcasing their knack for an exceptional pop melody and a killer catchy chorus.
