In case you’ve been living under a rock, the NZ duo BROODS released their debut LP Evergreen earlier this month — and in celebration of the occasion we’ve got a few CDs and other goodies to give away. Produced by Joel Little (the not-so-little producer behind Lorde), it’s no wonder that the album debuted at #1 on the charts in New Zealand, as well as earning plaudits on the international stage. The brother-sister duo demonstrated range in the array of singles they released leading up to the album, including the somber “Mother & Father,” the more lighthearted “L.A.F,” and of course standout track, “Bridges.” Fans needn’t fear about the quality of the remainder of the album, however, as evidenced by tracks like “Everytime” below.
To add to their list of accomplishments, the group recently went on tour supporting UK crooner Sam Smith. We had the good fortune of attending their DC show in September, where BROODS effectively warmed up the audience for Sam, who proceeded to melt the crowd with his masterful vocal chops, bashful British charm and powerful pathos. But we digress.

Woke up to them this morning and felt a little sad again that I missed them at ACL. Hope they’ll make a stop at historic Cain’s Ballroom sometime in the not-too-distant futre.

I falled for Broods music when I went to Sam Smith concert in NY last month. There presence on stage and their rhythm captured everyone who were there. I got the EP on iTunes but having an LP of them will become acollector’s piece.
