Those the Brokes

The Magic Numbers

Lush sibling harmonies and sun-drenched melodies masking a deeper, autumnal melancholy. A sophisticated expansion of their indie-pop sound with longer, patient builds.

It's like the Mamas & the Papas if they grew up in a rainy UK suburb with a lot of feelings.

A warm, autumnal sadness that feels like being wrapped in a heavy wool blanket.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the vocal harmonies swell into a wall of sound during the bridge of This Is a Song.
The sprawling, nearly seven-minute slow-burn build of Slow Down (The Way It Goes) that feels like a sunset.
The delicate, bell-like glockenspiel accents that punctuate the heartbreak in Take a Chance.
