Its follow-up, 2017’s slick Something to Tell You, saw the sisters revisit the breezy pop and rock melodies of their debut and lace them with more emotional depth. If this is actually it, this is what HAIM is, and HAIM sound like 2013, then we might all be even more fucked than we thought. HAIM - The Wire, Forever, Honey & I, Falling, If I Could Change Your Mind, My Song 5, Running If You Call My Name, Go Slow, Falling, Go Slow, Let Me Go, Send Me Down, Days Are Gone, Don't Save Me. By 2013, HAIM had earned the top spot on the prestigious BBC Sound Of list and released a critically acclaimed debut album, Days Are Gone. If there’s something to ‘get’, then we don’t get it.
Across Days Are Gone’s 11 tracks, vocals are invariably, unlovably forced, lyrics delivered with dead-eyed artificiality, and for all their harping on being a real, organic band, the whole drab thing sounds like it’s never seen an actual guitar. Still, its the writing that ultimately prevents Days Are Gone from being just an extremely accurate exercise in nostalgia. And beneath the flawless manes (they’ve got really great hair, it’s miraculous), and the Top Shop faux-Boho schtick, they churn out insipidly obnoxious pop. This song, along with much of Days Are Gone, features production by Ariel Rechtshaid, whose work with Usher and Vampire Weekend proves he has the breadth to help Haim unite their ideas into a coherent sound. And that said, this entire act has been so meticulously managed that they became one of the most talked-about acts in the business without most people bothering to listen to a note of their stupid fucking music. Lilith Fair bringer-backers Haim have an album coming out soon, their first since Days Are Gone was released in 2013 and Este, Danielle, and Alana subsequently became Taylor Swift’s best friends. Call it misadvice, or a lack of contextual knowledge from the three estate agent’s daughters from LA, but anyone who allows themselves to be that easily manipulated or takes so little interest in the world around them deserves everything they get. Barcode: 00602537509430Rights Society: BIEMRights Society: SDRMLabel Code: LC00309. We’d like to make this explicitly clear: we couldn’t stand HAIM long before they decided to commit indie suicide by buddying up to our beloved PM. Back cover misspells 1-6 as 'Dontt Save Me' Barcode and Other Identifiers.
