More often than not, in pain there lies a great beauty, and Kiwi indie pop dynamosBroods are no strangers to turning darkness into shimmering sonic gold.

Emerging officially in 2013 under the moniker Broods, the compelling dynamic between brother-sister duo Georgia Nott and Caleb Nott is unsurprising, stemming back to the pair performing together as kids, while also being immersed in an extremely musical family in their formative years.

And while the pair are already sitting pretty with over one billion streams of their material, 2022 is already gearing up to be another astronomical milestone, with the extremely anticipated release of their fourth studio album Space Island officially releasing today.

Conjuring an immersive, ethereal and highly conceptual world on their brand new album, much of the inspiration behind Space Islandstemmed from some significant personal lows and self-reflection, with Broods also embracing their most progressive songwriting to date as they traverse love, loss and heartache. And while the end result for Space Island perfectly lives up to its fantastical namesake, it also signals at the enduring connection both Georgia and Caleb possess, not just with each other, but with their fans who continue to remind them why they continue to chase this dream - and to talk all things Space Island and beyond, Georgia and Caleb join host Tiana Speter today to chat favourite instruments, songwriting, Aussie fan moments and beyond!
