Broods - Space Island (2022) Hi Res

The fourth full-length album from NZ brother and sister BROODS, Space Island, is an exploration of grief and all its many dimensions: its unpredictable nature and refusal to follow any linear path, its incredible capacity to bring great clarity and transformation. In keeping with the New Zealand-bred duo's unfettered imagination-an element they've brought to multiple platinum- and gold-certified records so far- the album's 10 tracks exist in a surprisingly radiant sonic realm, its aesthetic equally inspired by '60s sci-fi B-movies and the balmy exotica of composers like Les Baxter. As a result, Space Island introduces a dazzling new intensity into BROODS' atmospheric indie-pop while providing a powerful conduit for catharsis. Born into an exceptionally musical family, Georgia and Caleb Nott had their breakthrough as BROODS with their 2014 single "Bridges." That track appeared on their full-length debut Evergreen, which was produced by Joel Little (Lorde). The album debuted at #1 on the New Zealand Albums Chart and #5 on the Australian Albums Chart. Evergreen won five prizes at the 2015 New Zealand Music Awards (including Album of the Year). In 2016, BROODS released their sophomore album Conscious which debuted at #2 on the Australian Albums Chart and featured collaborations with Lorde and Tove Lo. Conscious won seven prizes at the 2016 New Zealand Music Awards, including Album of the Year for the second year in a row. In 2019, they worked with Joel Little again on their third album, Don't Feed The Pop Monster, performing songs from the album on major US TV shows, Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Late Late Show with James Corden.
