Australia, we need to talk. Why does it feel like our best new music has to fight tooth and nail just to get noticed at home?

This season, we’re flipping the script and putting the spotlight where it belongs—on the phenomenal new sounds coming from our own backyard.

Enter *Pratt’s & Pain*, the latest album from Sydney’s Royal Otis. It’s sun-drenched, offbeat, and absolutely irresistible—a record that proves these guys are here to make your serotonin spike and your sense of cool plummet.

In this episode, we dive deep into the Royal Otis universe—where garage pop meets disco weirdness, heartbreak dances with humor, and every track feels like a late-night drive with the windows down. We’ll unpack their sonic wizardry, debate the album’s best sad-banger, and figure out why the hell Australia hasn’t crowned them as indie royalty yet.

Find out about Adrian's 'crunch v jangle spectrograph' and Leon's sonic selection of the week.

It’s time to back our own. Tune in, turn it up, and let’s make sure the world doesn’t steal this one from us.
