It has been a great year for New Zealand pop duo BROODS. The pair's debut full-length album, "Evergreen," released overseas in August, currently tops the charts in New Zealand and rides high in Australia. Lead singer Georgia Nott's emotionally intricate melodies are accompanied by her older brother Caleb's acoustic guitar or added onto thick layers of bass and synth. If that sounds familiar, BROODS recorded hit single "Bridges" with Joel Little who produced Lorde's debut album, "Pure Heroine." Admirers, Soviet Dolls share the bill.

BROODS performs Sunday, September 14, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 7 p.m. $10-$12. Bugjar.com; Broods.co.
