Upon release, the duo said "'Oysters in My Pocket' is our way of showing appreciation to the bivalve molluscs that put some boost in our juice and some fire in the libido. Each one as unique as our very own fingertips. Heck don't pass up an opportunity when you come across these suckers. Stuff them in your pockets and be the life of any party." [3] [4]

Reception

Arun Kendall from Backseat Mafia called the song an "intravenous shot of pure happiness". saying "There's shouty, rowdy delivery skipping over a riffy layering of guitars and a whole heap of clattering bounce that brings a smile to the dourest of visages." [1]

Vasili Papathanasopoulos from Milky Milky Milky said "Continuing their exploration of dream-pop sonics, vocalist Otis Pavlovic's mesmerising vocals float above hypnotic percussion and nostalgia drenched guitar lines." [4]
