New Zealand. That tiny little country that's not Australia has given us so many things to be thankful for in its past. The Lord of the Rings, Flight of the Concordes, the All Blacks, erm, ... the Kiwi?

Anyway, following in the footsteps of these exports comes Auckland siblings, BROODS. Their début track 'Bridges' came out in October and the internet went crazy (with the duo quickly being snapped up by Polydor and Capitol in the UK and US respectively). Follow up track 'Never Gonna Change' has simply concreted the fact that these two have some serious talent. Dense and melodramatic synth lays behind breathy and impassioned vocals to create a pretty epic landscape. Now where did we put that 'ones to watch in 2014' list...
