About Broods
Broods released their new single “Peach” on August 7, 2018. The song’s kaleidoscopic sonic palette embraces buzzing
guitar tones and choir-like harmonies along with woozy rhythms and intricate piano work while Georgia laments “I’m high
and I’m low. No control. But everything looking peach now.” They explain: “As artists, you feel things at a much more
extreme level than people who probably don’t spend most of their time inside their own heads. ‘Peach’ is about feeling
all over the place all the time, and then celebrating those moments when everything feels awesome."
