about
Royel Otis is an Indie pop duo from Sydney, Australia. It consists of Otis Pavlovic and Royel Maddell. After living in New York for a few years, Royel returned home to Australia. He was broke so he started working in a bar, where he met Otis fresh out of school. After hanging around on a night out with friends, Otis showed Royel some of the demos he had been working on. Royel took them home and started matching with guitars and some Fat Boy Slim samples he stole during his time in NYC. The two started having weekly catch upsand churning out tunes in Roy’s Bondi Beach sunroom, laying guitars over beats and going on long drives along the east coast to write melodies over the tracks. Drawing inspiration from old Japanese city pop records and ‘90s nostalgia and produced by Julian Sudek, the guys sent their track off to the legendary mixer Dave Fridmann who agreed to mix their debut song. Without You is the duo’s shimmering debut single. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
