Space Island is the fourth studio album by New Zealand duo BROODS. It was released February 18, 2022 by Island & Universal Music Australia. The album was preceded by three singles; "Piece of My Mind", "Heartbreak" and "Like a Woman", all of which follow a single linear story shown in their respective music videos.
Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo is featured on the track "I Keep", marking their second collaboration following "Freak of Nature" in 2016.
Regarding the concept of the album, Georgia and Caleb stated both of them view Space Island as an actual place somewhere off in space, an idea supported by Georgia’s futuristic jumpsuit and glass coffin-like “craft” in the project’s music videos and album cover, which finds her floating down a tranquil river with a vast landscape to explore behind her. The island’s purpose is to act as somewhere to go during the grieving process.
In an interview with MTV, Georgia elaborated further on the matter: “We started to figure out how that relates to grief and loss and heartbreak. Those times after something like that happens, how you kind of feel a little bit like you've been flung out of orbit, and you're feeling alienated.” From there, the idea further crystalized, and the duo began watching science fiction films from the 1960s and ‘70s to gain inspiration for both the visuals and sound of the album.
