Royel Otis UK tour tickets go on sale tomorrow (Friday, August 29) after a long wait - but some fans remain divided over their latest album.
In case you missed it, the Aussie guitar-pop duo are heading to the UK this autumn, for huge gigs in London, Manchester, and Glasgow.
Over the last year, the Sofa King hitmakers have made serious waves on this side of the world, and the upcoming run is in support of second studio album Hickey.
Due to overwhelming demand, presale sold out instantly, so you'll have to patiently wait until tomorrow to get your hands on tickets.
Despite the excitement surrounding the gigs, it might come as a surprise to learn that the band's latest release Hickey has left fans divided, with many taking to Reddit to share their thoughts.

"I don’t know what to think of the album, it feels weird," one fan wrote. "Songs are really cool and catchy, but I feel like it’s missing something and I don’t know what..."
Another agreed, as they said: "Yeah, super vanilla. Sounds like Phoenix, Toro y Moi, and Tame Impala mashed together - but only the worst bits made it through."
A third wrote, "Needs a second listen, but I’m massively underwhelmed. Every song sounded somewhat similar, there was no adventure, and the sound of the first album and their EPs seems to have been lost."
But not everyone feels the same way, as many die-hard fans are loving the band's new sound (us included).

"Car is one of their best songs, Who's Your Boyfriend as well. Whole album is a vibe. I love the direction and the aesthetic they went with for this release."
Another shared, "I actually find the album quite nostalgic. It's mostly reminding me of that late summer nostalgia that I get from Campus. First listen: very breezy, easy listening. I'm also more a fan of live music, and they've been killing the new songs live!"
