In contrast however, Something To Tell You also demonstrates an experiment with a range of new sounds for the band.
HAIM DAYS ARE GONE TRACK BY TRACK REVIEW FULL
Recently released “Little Of Your Love” is full of twangy sixties-esque guitar riffs and a somewhat doo-wop sound, whilst “You Never Knew” consists of intricate acoustic guitar and has a distinctive disco vibe. An amalgamation of distinct guitar, eighties style synth, and prominent vocals, the track is instantly catchy, and performed live would be well deserving of the band’s signature dance moves.Īs the album proceeds, a number of other influences emerge. Most recognisably influenced by this sound is second track, “Nothing’s Wrong”.
HAIM DAYS ARE GONE TRACK BY TRACK REVIEW MAC
With funky bass lines and slick guitar riffs reminiscent of late seventies and early eighties rock, groups such as Fleetwood Mac spring to mind as the tracks progress, a connection that is logical ( Haim recorded a version of “Rhiannon” with Stevie Nicks in 2014, and appeared with her on stage at a Foo Fighters gig in 2015). With a music video released just last week, the album’s opener, “Want You Back”, perfectly conveys the influences of Haim‘s second record. It's probably weird to say after one record, but I genuinely think are one of THE best and most important bands of past 20yrs Four years since the release of their debut studio album, Days Are Gone (2013), and after a number of cancelled festival performances, track teasers, and the announcement of a secret London show this Sunday, Haim are finally back with Something To Tell You, out 7 July on Polydor Records. Just last week, Liam Fray, front-man of Manchester band The Courteeners, voiced his love for the group on Twitter, stating “It’s probably weird to say after one record, but I genuinely think are one of THE best and most important bands of past 20yrs”. Trust me, do it.Alana, Danielle, and Este Haim possibly three of the most well-known siblings in the history of indie rock music. HAIM doesn’t sound like everything else happening right now and I’m confident that this trio will just continue to rise.ĬRUCIAL SIDE NOTE: Listen to HAIM covering Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” on the Radio 1 Live Lounge. Despite the mixing of genres and influences, the album works as a cohesive whole. With Days Are Gone, HAIM gallivants through many variations of pop, past and present.
The title track, “Days Are Gone,” probably the most synth heavy, is all about blended vocals in a way that showing the true collaboration of the sisters’ talents.
“My Song 5” has an edge to centered in percussion (one of the best elements of HAIM’s live shows), while “Go Slow” is a soft, wispier tune. A full LP has given the sisters of HAIM a chance to build on the singles and showcase their range. However, the new material is a welcome and appropriate addition to the previous hits. The debut includes all of the early favorites: “Forever,” “Falling,” “Don’t Save Me,” and the most recent single, “The Wire.” Most of these tracks are placed at the start, providing a strong initial punch to the album. These singles along with standout live performances have propelled Danielle, Este, and Alana from the small Tree House Stage at Sweet Life 2012 to tours with arena filling acts like Mumford & Sons and Phoenix, as well as headlining runs of their own.Īfter the insane amount of anticipation leading up to this album, I’m happy to report that Days Are Gone has met my and the collective blogosphere’s lofty expectations, if not exceeding them. The trio of stunning ladies has been teasing us for months and months with one stellar single after another. HAIM’s debut, Days Are Gone is finally here to stream on NPR folks, and it really is that great. Excuse me, while I gather my overly giddy self enough to write this post.
