BROODS

ANNOUNCE THE RELEASE OF THEIR DEBUT ALBUM
EVERGREEN

OUT AUGUST 22

“It’s gonna be a big 12 months for Broods, watch out!” – Zane Lowe, BBC Radio 1

“The New Zealand-based duo sounds more comfortable and polished than ever” – Pigeons and Planes

Broods, the most exciting music export to come out of New Zealand in 2014, have announced the release of their highly anticipated debut album Evergreen, due out August 22^nd. Produced by Joel Little (Lorde) and recorded at Golden Age, the album features hits Bridges and Never Gonna Change, plus 9 new recordings that will cement Broods as an international force in music.

Broods recently premiered the new single from Evergreen, titled Mother & Father, on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show to a rapturous response. The single shot straight to #1 on Hype Machine, accumulated over 220,000 Soundcloud streams in two weeks and recently broke into the Top 10 on the New Zealand iTunes chart.

Mother & Father is available on iTunes HERE.

Georgia and Caleb's musical project Broods emerged in late 2013 with the release of the hit single Bridges (Dryden Street through Universal). The song has received over 1.2 million streams on Soundcloud, flew up the charts and prompted an amazing whirlwind of interest which resulted in signing international recording contracts in the USA (Capitol Records) and in the UK (Polydor).

Watch the video for Bridges HERE.

The last 8 months have seen the siblings perform live across the USA, Canada, the UK and Australia with a string of showcases, support slots for the likes of Ellie Goulding, Haim and Chvrches, plus their own headline shows. Broods will return to New Zealand late August to play headline shows in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

As a live act Broods play as a three-piece including a drummer. Their shows across the ocean have been heralded as "dance floor filling joy", "magnetic", "mesmerising" and that the band certainly "deliver on the hype" according to The Huffington Post . High praise for an act that are clearly drawing some immense worldwide attention.
