"Heartlines" was the first taste of Conscious, the second album from New Zealand duo Broods, landing as a promotional single on 10 June 2016 before a proper release as the album's second single in January 2017. Georgia and Caleb Nott, the only two members, wrote it with Lorde and Joel Little, who also produced and engineered it.
It's synth-pop built from electronic beats and synthesizers, and under the gloss it's about the hope that survives in a stormy long-distance relationship. Critics mostly liked it, singling out the production and the lyrics, and some heard echoes of Lorde's 2013 album Pure Heroine. The video, directed by Dano Cerny and starring Rose McIver and Oliver Ackland, got people talking for wiring in bio-interactive Microsoft Band technology, made in collaboration with Microsoft.
