Today, Sydney’s favourite indie duo, Royel Otis, share their newest single, “Adored” out now via OURNESS.

Soon wrapping up their sold-out multiple date national tour in their hometown, before a debut performance at Splendour in the Grass this weekend, Royel Otis continue climbing to greater heights with their viscerally blissful pop. From cleaning up ‘Ones to Watch’ lists by the likes of Matt Wilkinson at Apple Music 1, NME and the Daily Telegraph, to earning Spotify’s RADAR Artist recognition, and being featured in Vogue and GQ after dropping their much-hyped Sofa Kings EP, Royel Otis today expand their well-loved discography.

A sharp post-punk leaning treat, “Adored” is the first music from the pair since their highly-acclaimed Sofa Kings EP, and is a dedication to DIY TLC. As the snappy beat keeps you upright and Otis’ croon drawls across an earworm lullaby, the band beckons you to partake in some leisurely pleasure. Produced and mixed by Grammy Award-winning producer, Dan Carey (Wet Leg), take your mind off your surroundings if only for the length of “Adored”.

Royel Otis says on “Adored”: “‘Adored’ is about taking time for some DIY TLC. Treat yourself with some leisurely pleasure. Don’t let it bring you down, it’s only castles burning.”

Across seven tracks of sunny alt-pop, Sofa Kings saw the pair take a progressive leap forward from their infectious melodies and quick-witted songwriting and land with a cleverly composed gusto. Produced by Chris Collins and Royel Otis, the EP delivered visceral stories and quick wit atop blissful guitar-fuzzed haze. The record’s singles “Kool Aid”, “Sofa King”, “Going Kokomo” and “I Wanna Dance With You” were quick to receive international and local press adoration from Paper Mag, Purple Sneakers, NME, consistent airplay from BBC Radio 1, Apple Music 1 and the status of triple j’s #1 Most Played track.

To celebrate the release of Sofa Kings, Royel Otis have been touring nationally in July performing their largest headline shows to date. The band have seen multiple sold-out crowds in Margaret River, Perth, Melbourne, Wollongong, Brisbane and will perform their final and fourth sold-out Sydney show at The Lansdowne on July 20. Next, the duo will take to Byron Bay’s Splendour in the Grass, before heading directly to Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States for a bumper cross-continental tour, including Leeds and Reading Festival and End of the Road in the UK, Pukkelpop Festival in Brussels, and Ireland’s Electric Picnic, where they will play to international fans for the second time. The duo will close out the year back home, with festival appearances at Your & Owls Festival and the Spilt Milk tour.

Since the band’s release of their sophomore EP Bar ‘N Grill in 2022, they have graced the covers of global playlists including Spotify’s Front Left, Indie Arrivals and Supersound, Apple Music’s Heaps Indie and more, amassing over 10 million streams, and garnered widespread playlisting support across community radio, US college radio and BBC Radio 6. Capping off a career-high year in 2022, the duo conquered their first ever European and UK tour performing to bursting crowds across Leeds, London, Manchester, Glasgow, Paris and Amsterdam, and entered 2023 with a slot in triple j’s Hottest 200 for “Oysters In My Pocket”. Earlier this year, the band joined Groovin the Moo’s 2023 touring lineup and as supports on alt-j’s upcoming Australian tour.

As the Royel Otis fever continues to stir in cities, towns and headphones everywhere across the world, don’t miss out on hearing their newest sound in “Adored” today.
