Royel Otis – (Hickey)

Hickey is the bold new album from Australian duo Royel Otis—a cleaner, more confident evolution of their sun-soaked indie rock. With jangly guitars, sticky hooks, and sharp, direct storytelling, tracks like “moody,” “car,” and “say something” capture the thrill of youth and the chaos of growing up. Romantic, rebellious, and irresistibly catchy, hickey is made to leave a mark.
