Conscious by Broods
Conscious is an album by Broods, released in 2016. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Free”, on 6 lists with a best position of #7.
Conscious, the second album from New Zealand duo Broods, came out on Polydor on 24 June 2016, with Joel Little back in the producer's chair. Siblings Georgia and Caleb Nott kept the electropop shimmer of Evergreen but roughed it up, working in industrial clang and R&B slink, and they brought in company: Tove Lo and Lorde both turn up as collaborators.
Georgia sounds bolder here, less whisper and more push, and Caleb's production gives her beats with actual muscle. "Free", released in April ahead of the album, went gold at home, and "Heartlines" also found its way onto the countdowns. Reviews were generally warm, and the album debuted at number 1 in New Zealand and number 2 in Australia. In the US it peaked lower than Evergreen, at 52 on the Billboard 200, yet it hit career highs on the Rock and Alternative charts.
