Listen: BROODS – “Never Gonna Change”
-
Packing enough pop punch to force anyone to revise their ones to watch lists, NZ siblings BROODS return with another stellar creation in “Never Gonna Change”.
October’s “Bridges” was a breakthrough for the duo who have since signed to Polydor (UK) and Capitol (USA). It was hard to imagine another track that could so quickly shoot you in the heart.
But “Never Gonna Change” is equally as gripping, showing off the act’s darker side with brooding (geddit?) synths, scuttling percussion and fleshy vocal blushes. Georgia Nott whips her souffléd vocals into a thicker syrup, complemented by heavy harmonies and coarse guitar solos. It’s quite startling and is only the second song they’ve ever written. Ever.
Expect big things for BROODS in 2014, who have Lorde producer Joel Little in tow and support from, basically, the whole internet.
