Broods is a music duo from Nelson, New Zealand, composed of Georgia Nott on lead vocals, with older brother and multi-instrumentalist Caleb Nott on production and backing vocals. They released the single "Bridges", which went to No. 8 on the New Zealand single chart, and signed with Capitol and Polydor Records. They released their self-titled debut EP, Broods, on 30 January 2014, which was followed by a full-length album, Evergreen, on 22 August 2014.

History

Early years and formation (2010–2013)

Born in Nelson, New Zealand, Caleb and Georgia Nott have performed together since childhood.[5] They grew up in a musical family with three other siblings, and would go along with their parents to weddings and church performances in an ABBA tribute band.[6][7] They won a talent competition, "Richmond's Got Talent", as teenagers at Richmond Mall in 2010.[8] While attending Garin College, they were members of the indie rock band, The Peasants, who won the Smokefreerockquest music competition in 2011. The band split in late-2012, shortly after winning a grant from NZ On Air. Georgia began studying popular music at the University of Auckland.[9] Caleb studied industrial design.[10] They both dropped out of university to pursue Broods.[11]

Broods was formed in Auckland in early 2013. The brother-sister project began collaborating with music producer Joel Little, whom they met as a judge at the 2011 Smokefreerockquest. He produced Lorde's 2013 hit single, "Royals".[12] While considering names for the band, their manager suggested Broods.[6] The band liked the double meaning, relating to family and a feeling of brooding in their music.[11] They released their debut single, "Bridges", online in October 2013.[13] The song was picked up by Idolator and other music blogs, earning over 200,000 streams in a week.[14] MTV described the track as "a bittersweet synth-pop echo chamber".[15] Broods signed with Capitol Records worldwide and Polydor in the UK and Europe in December 2013.[16]

Broods and Evergreen (2014–2015)

The single, "Bridges", debuted at No. 8 in the New Zealand single chart in January 2014 and was chosen as the U.S. iTunes Store single of the week in February 2014.[17] The song, "Never Gonna Change", was made available for streaming in anticipation of their debut EP, Broods, which was released on 30 January 2014.[18] The band made their debut U.S. performance at Bardot in Hollywood, California on 24 February 2014, touring as a three piece with James Mataio on drums.[19][20] They debuted in the UK at London's Notting Hill Arts Club on 5 March 2014, and toured briefly with Haim.[21] They toured North America, and then Australia in support of Ellie Goulding.[22][23] They returned to the U.S. to make their television debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers in July, and toured opening for Sam Smith.[24]

Broods released their debut album, Evergreen, on 22 August 2014, which debuted at No. 1 on the New Zealand album chart.[25] They won as Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the 2014 New Zealand Music Awards, and were also nominated for Single of the Year and the People's Choice Award.[26][27] They were also nominated for the APRA Silver Scroll Award for the single "Bridges".[28] In 2015, they returned to North America for a headlining tour, joined by drummer Joel Farland.[29] The band performed their single "Four Walls" on Conan, and played the Groovin the Moo, Firefly, WayHome, Lollapalooza, and Outside Lands music festivals.[30][31][32][33][34] They collaborated with Australian singer/songwriter Troye Sivan, co-writing and producing the song "Ease" from his 2015 EP Wild and subsequent album Blue Neighbourhood.[35] At the 2015 New Zealand Music Awards, they won Album of the Year for Evergreen, Best Group, Best Pop Album, and Radio Airplay Record of the Year for "Mother & Father".[36]

Conscious (2016)

Broods began writing material for a follow up album immediately after releasing their debut. They experimented with adding live instrumentation – guitar, organ and electric piano – to their synthesizer-based electronic sound.[37] The duo released the first single, "Free", on 1 April 2016, working again with producer Joel Little, which has a heavier industrial style.[38] Their second album, Conscious, will be released on 24 June 2016, and includes collaborations with Lorde and Tove Lo.[39]

Georgia married long-term partner, Jacob Wieblitz, in 2016. The couple honeymooned in Bali.[40] Caleb and Georgia moved to Los Angeles in April 2016, and opened again for Ellie Goulding on the North American leg of her Delirium World Tour.[38] Broods appeared on the The Late Late Show with James Corden in May, and plan to tour Australia, New Zealand, and North America in mid-2016.[41][39]
