Since releasing their debut album, Evergreen, in 2014, the brother-sister duo of Georgia and Caleb Nott—better known as Broods—have been thrust into the international spotlight. Evergreen, which contained singles “Bridges” and “Mother & Father,” climbed into the Top 10 of Billboard’s Alternative Albums chart.
Broods have since amassed 160 million streams worldwide, more than 24 million video views, and 330K adjusted album sales. Broods’ highly anticipated sophomore album, Conscious, was released June 24 via Capitol Records. Produced by Joel Little, the band themselves, Alex Hope, and Captain Cuts, the album features first single “Free,” which has accrued over 8 million worldwide Spotify streams and nearly 1.5 million views on the official video since its release in April. Next single “Heartlines” was co-written with fellow New Zealanders Lorde and Joel Little, NPR declared the track “a summer anthem.”
SSW attended the exclusive music video premiere event at The Microsoft Lounge in Venice, CA.
The brother-sister duo, who released their second album Conscious on June 24 via Capitol Records, wanted to rethink the music video experience and create a deeper, more emotional layer for their second single “Heartlines”, co-written with fellow New Zealanders singer-songwriter Lorde
and Joel Little.
To celebrate the premiere of the music video, Capitol Records hosted a special performance and panel session at the Microsoft Venice Lounge in Los Angeles last night. Attended by leading music editors and industry influencers, the invite-only event included an intimate performance by Broods and an exclusive look at the Microsoft enabled live show which fans will be able to experience during the band’s upcoming US tour, which kicks off on August 1, in Washington D.C.
