Broods - 'Conscious' album review.

12 seconds is all it takes for Broods to show that they’re not messing around on ‘Conscious', their second album, the follow-up to 2014’s debut, ‘Evergreen'.

I’m free!” Her brother Caleb then enters with pulsating synths and the fierce beat that tells us Broods are starting this record as they mean to go on: arresting, captivating, and liberated.
