Evergreen is the debut studio album by New Zealand music duo
Background and development
In January 2014, Broods released their self-titled debut EP, which was produced entirely by Joel Little. It was proceeded by the singles "Bridges" and "Never Gonna Change", which will both be on the album.[2] The EP received very positive reviews and was successful in their home country of New Zealand, charting at number 2, behind Lorde's debut Pure Heroine.[4] After the EP was released the duo embarked on a tour, which also went to the United States.[5] During those concerts, songs from the album were previewed. In May and June, the duo opened the Australian and New Zealand tour dates for British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding.[6]
On June 12, the duo announced their first-ever New Zealand tour and on June 19 premiered the first single off the album, "Mother & Father".
