It has been less that two weeks since dropping their debut album Evergreen, but New Zealand brother-sister duo Broods are already climbing the music charts.

Released on August 22 through Capitol Records, Evergreen is the follow-up to the sibling¡¯s self-titled EP. Currently sitting at No.5 on the ARIA Albums Chart, just below the Guardians Of The Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1, Broods¡¯ latest release is reminiscent of London Grammar ¨C dark, dance-y beats and ethereal vocals.

Clearly, family-orientated, the pair treated the album like a musical family gathering. With lyrics like, ¡°And ever since I left my mother, It¡¯s much harder to know, How to make my own life here, How to make my own home,¡± the opening song ¡®Mother & Father¡¯ is an ode to Georgia and Caleb Nott¡¯s parents. Their younger sister Olivia also lent her vocals to tracks on the album.

Despite the collaborative nature of the album, the pair said that they weren¡¯t about to start roasting marshmallows and singing Kumbaya in the studio, so to speak.

¡°Don¡¯t think it¡¯s like a massive campfire where everyone¡¯s gathered around singing,¡± Caleb told Triple J¡¯s Matt and Alex. ¡°It¡¯s not like that.¡±

¡°Although,¡± Georgia added, ¡°a couple of Christmases ago there was a fire involved ¡­ and everyone was singing. It was an outside fire, and there was a circle of cheers, and nanna was dancing in the middle doing the hula. She¡¯s the best.¡±

Broods, who are the latest prot¨¦g¨¦ of Kiwi producer Joel Little (the musical wizard responsible for Lorde¡¯s breakout debut album, Pure Heroine), have dropped their album at an exciting time. It is because of Lorde, who ¡°paved the way,¡± that New Zealand electro music is now being recognised by the wider world as its own brand ¨C downbeat and minimalist.

¡°Broods¡¯ knack for durable hooks demonstrates that they can transcend the confines of gloomy synthpop. It¡¯s quality songwriting with better production and poppiness in all the right places,¡± wrote The Brag Magazine of the duo¡¯s debut effort.

With a combination of melodrama, moodiness, and just the right amount of synth and drums, you can certainly expect to hear these young up-and-comers on the airwaves in no time.
