The vibrant energy of Royel Otis's third EP, "Sofa Kings," reverberates as it journeys through the world of guitar-pop with hypnotic hooks and infectious melodies. Released on the last day of March in 2023, this Australian duo weaves a sonic experience that cleverly bridges the nostalgic charm of the past with the fresh spirit of contemporary indie tunes. Nod your head along to the delightful whispers of influences from indie stalwarts like The Drums and Grouplove, and you may even catch the lingering echoes of The Charlatans. It's an emotional dance floor for both casual and keen ears, making it an exhilarating addition to their discography.
Lyric-wise, "Sofa Kings" sweeps through themes of love and self-exploration with poetic finesse. Tracks like "Sofa King" and "Kool Aid" pull listeners into the whirlwind of emotional tussles and longing. The songs flicker between feelings of reckless abandon and deep self-reflection, painting a sophisticated portrait of the human psyche. Meanwhile, the blend of alternative and synth-pop gives us a short, yet punchy collection, ensuring a vibrant listen from start to finish. This release unveils the band's evolution and hints at their promising future as they create music that's meant to be felt as much as it is heard. -
