“We’re pretty much the biggest perfectionists,” offers Alana.
The group credits album delays both to their heavy touring regiment as well as their obsessive streak in the studio.
“I think if we could we’d put it out tomorrow,” Este says of the 11-track album, which the group recorded over the better of a year in Los Angeles during gaps from their non-stop touring schedule. People dangle a lot of stuff in front of you…there were times where we were like, ‘Shit, we should just put it out already.'”īut now with the album having an official release date – September 30th, to be exact – the Haim girls are more than ready for it to be unleashed upon the public. “It took a lot of strength for us to say we wanted to wait. “Everyone was like, ‘Are you gonna put it out? Are you gonna do it?'” chatty guitarist-keyboardist Alana, the youngest member of the trio at 21, says of the band’s forthcoming debut album, Days Are Gone. Singer Paulette McWilliams on Her Years With Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, and Steely Dan Yet while many groups would be quick to capitalize on such of-the-moment hype – the sort of relentessly positive chatter that’s surrounded Haim ever since they released their critically praised Forever EP in February of last year – the trio made a point to take their time perfecting their forthcoming debut album. (So hot, in fact, that Lollapalooza thought it wise to push back their Saturday set to later in the day.) Their harmony-laced sound is drawing comparisons to Fleetwood Mac, Wilson Phillips and yes, even TLC. Why wouldn’t she want to? Haim are currently one of the hottest young rock acts on the planet. “I will do this until my tits are at my knees.” “Ya know what? I don’t give a fuck,” she adds. She pauses, realizing that may have come off a bit well, complain-y and corrects herself. “What’s a day off?” says Este, 27, the bassist, eldest and most crass member of the group. They’ve been in Chicago since Wednesday, but the sibling rockers, whose music has drawn rave reviews from the Strokes, Rihanna and Mumford & Sons, have had little time to take in their surroundings.
Please, please, please, for the love of god, stop.It’s Saturday afternoon at Lollapalooza, and the Haim sisters – Este, Alana and Danielle – are sitting backstage. Two Door Cinema Club, Swim Deep, Chvrches, now Haim.
#Haim days are gone ep full
Jay Z’s management team and their major record labels try to dress Haim up as the new Hole or L7, knowing full well the band is far more Tiffany fronting Destiny’s Child. None of this really matters but for the sheer scale of it. Haim don’t actually have any songs, but released an album anyway. Del Rey has at least two, Fleetwood, five or six. One important difference between Fleedwood Mac, Lana Del Rey and Haim is the existence of songs. Aim manipulated, willing, camera-friendly female firstly at alt audience – when you have sapped that market to the point of murderous irritation, gloss the whole fucking thing up and sell it to the Samsung Kids. To quote Spinal Tap, as I can’t seem to find the words: ‘This one’s just a two word review: Shit sandwich’. Standout track appears to be ‘Don’t Save Me’.
#Haim days are gone ep mac
If you didn’t think Fleetwood Mac were boring, over-produced, soulless aural wallpaper after 1973, Haim are the girls for you.Īnd what the fuck does that title mean? Where have the days gone? Can anyone find them? What are we going to do about it?! Thanks Wikipedia for your Wildean critique of Haim’s sound. ‘Their music sounds a bit like folk-rock with a few R&B/hip-hop stylings thrown in for good measure’
