All three trade vocals throughout the album and can shift from instrument to instrument with ease. Lucky for these musical sisters their musicianship is as stellar as their craftsmanship.

And much like the music they draw from Haim have a knack for coming up that big, undeniable hook as you'll hear on "The Wire", "Falling" and "Forever".ĭays Are Gone is full of catchy moments like the aforementioned, and there's going to be a wide appeal for what they do. From classic inspirations like Fleetwood Man and Tom Petty to 80s synth rock and modern day R&B, these girls pull from across the board.
Musically the touchstones are fascinating as their transcend genres and decades of music. Their comfort in front of an audiences translates to ease in the studio. The girls are not just dynamic, but confident in their vision. Their years performing pay immediate dividends on Days Are Gone. Energized and with a musical ambition fully realized, Haim arrives with major ambitions on their first album Days Are Gone. XPN Morning Show w/ Kristen Kurtis & Bob Bumberaįrom playing in a family band with their parents to touring with Julian Casablancas of The Strokes and Jenny Lewis performing has been a constant all their lives.A debut album that could pass for a greatest-hits collection, Days Are Gone will provide musical comfort food for some, and possibly an introduction to irony-free pop for others. The best moments here, such as the bookends "Falling" and "Running If You Call My Name," would be great pop songs regardless of when they sound like they're from. This is a brand new, legit, original, officially licensed Haim merchandise purchased directly from the band’s record label, online store, or licensed distributor. Still, it's the writing that ultimately prevents Days Are Gone from being just an extremely accurate exercise in nostalgia. Description HAIM Days Are Gone Vinyl/Vinyl/ We ship from Taguig City, Philippines. 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. Over the course of the album, Haim captures and explores the nuances within the styles they're reviving: there's the sweet soft rock of "Honey & I" or "Don't Save Me," the title track's tight synth-pop, and the dark, driving territory of "Let Me Go" and "My Song 5," which, with its slinky melody and hard-hitting beats, makes the most of the trio's much-touted R&B influences. Compared to the thin voices of so many 2010s pop stars, singer Danielle Haim's rich alto only adds to the group's throwback feel, but like her sisters, she's remarkably versatile.
The hard work paid off: Days Are Gone is full of should-be hits like "The Wire," which boasts a big, fist-pumping beat and sassy guitar licks (they can only be called that). Not that Haim's approach is unstudied the trio obviously did their homework to revive and embody these sounds so perfectly, and it took them five years of recording and re-recording these songs until they had just the right mix of smoothness and immediacy. Likewise, these songs revel in that era's sometimes-cheesy flourishes without a trace of irony, and the gated drums, gleaming synths, and muted guitars that dominate Days Are Gone haven't sounded so good since their original heyday. Days Are Gone sounds all the more unusual precisely because it's so mainstream a list of their influences - Stevie Nicks, Phil Collins, En Vogue, Shania Twain - looks like a glance at the Top 40 from about 25 years before the album's release. While many of their contemporaries engaged in a contest to find the most obscure influences, and '80s revivalists sucked synth-pop and new wave dry, the Haim sisters dug up the decade's biggest, poppiest sounds and fashioned a captivating debut album out of them. There is nothing cool about Haim's music, and that's why it's so refreshing.
