Broods
Broods EP
New Zealand might end up taking over the world with breakout artists like Lorde and The Naked and Famous. Accompanying the kiwis are newcomers Broods. Hailing from Lorde's native Auckland the brother and sister collaboration (Caleb Nott providing the instrumentals and backup vocals and Georgia Nott taking the lead) capitalize on whispers echoed over pop-filled house beats worthy of nods from hardcore fans of Ellie Goulding and CHVRCHES. Formed in 2013, the very new band has already been signed to Capitol Records and have received recognition from the producer, Joel Little, of Lorde's chart-topping debut album Pure Heroine. "Bridges", the first single off the EP, rippled through social media in 2013. The track features vocals from both Caleb and Georgia, layered thick over distorted bass and subtle taps of piano keys. Then the EP composes itself with slower tracks "Sleep Baby Sleep" and "Taking You There" hauntingly Crystal Castles-esque with less grit. It only takes Broods six songs to whirl through a complete metamorphosis of multifaceted sounds and the band can hardly be labeled as "novice".
Their full LP is expected to be released sometime this August and they have announced a few US dates for the Spring. Broods is sophisticated and beautifully complex and this is just a taste of what we can expect in the near future. Lorde has already expressed her excitement. August can't come soon enough.
