#HAIM DAYS ARE GONE LIVE MAC#

They do seem to have at least three of every backing vocal, cascading fabulously all over the place like an accident in a Destiny's Child audition queue. Haim could have so easily just had three of everything on Days Are Gone вЂ“ more glockenspiel! More marimba! вЂ“ rather than all this nuance and texture.

Producer Ariel Rechtshaid recently worked on Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires of the City, another saturated record packed with nimble tunes the other producer, James Ford (that's him pushing faders on the 80s pop of If I Could Change Your Mind), has overseen umpteen successful UK indie-mainstream crossovers (Arctic Monkeys, Florence and the Machine). So while their offerings are often breezy pop bagatelles, Haim are thorough musos, using the studio as an instrument, augmenting their own bejewelled musicianship with the abrupt jump cuts only made possible by right-now digital technology, all couched in the eiderdown plushness of money well spent. Haim are a band who start and end songs with artisanal care. It's one of their most weirdly anachronistic songs, blending glam galumph with a catchy pop chorus, traditional three-part harmonies with almost-rapped verses 'hey's and guitar solos come flying in, as though from another studio. The band told Rolling Stone that they recorded The Wire at least 20 times. You really do believe that the year of delays has been down to the band's endless fine-tuning rather than their relentless interview commitments, so hair-splitting are its tiny decisions. The whole thing is about heartbreak.Дays Are Gone is named after its own lengthy gestation. There's even something of Bruce Springsteen to Don't Save Me. Although the genres they frequently draw on might seem lightweight вЂ“ 70s soft rock, 80s synth-pop вЂ“ the levels of craft here are not. No one is saying that being in a rock band ought to be a dignified affair, but Days Are Gone benefits from being a serious album rather than just another opportunity for the California siblings to toss their hair. Media exposure hasn't exactly helped them foster mystique.

Haim's music has justly been feted as the missing link between TLC and Fleetwood Mac вЂ“ especially in the sense that no one ever previously thought to look for it вЂ“ but Haim's USP has been that of a good-time band, toting the kind of outrageousness that can drift perilously close to kooky. Live, the girls trade ribald quips eldest, bass-playing stateswoman Este Haim вЂ“ she of the ethnomusicology degree вЂ“ regularly pulls the kind of orgasmic gargoyle gurns last seen painted on to Kiss. One of their first videos found the sisters riding mopeds around LA, intercut with home movies of themselves as kids. Fader has declared that HAIM s practiced live show easily rivals any of their peers, and it is no wonder that HAIM have been asked to support the likes of Phoenix, Florence and the Machine, Mumford and Sons and Vampire Weekend on tour.G oofing around with Haim: it has become something of an international sport. HAIM's electrifying live performances, including sold-out headlining shows at Los Angeles 'Troubadour and New York's Music Hall of Williamsburg in addition to festival appearances at SXSW, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Firefly and Governor s Ball, have made waves on both sides of the Atlantic. This award has been a reliable indicator of success in recent years, with Ellie Goulding and Jessie J being named the winners in the past. In the UK, HAIM have impressively become the first female American act to ever win the BBC's Sound of 2013, an annual poll of industry leaders to identify the most promising new music talent.

The band has also been prominently featured in Rolling Stone's esteemed Best of Rock issue and Elle's Women In Music issue, as well as recognized as 'Faces to Watch 2013' by The Los Angeles Times, '20 Bands To Watch Out For' by Complex and '15 New Stars We Love' by Entertainment Weekly. The Southern California trio has attracted a surge of industry attention since releasing their EPs Forever, Don t Save Me and Falling. Days Are Gone features crowd favorites 'Falling,' 'Forever,' and 'Don't Save Me' as well as title track 'Days Are Gone,' which was co-written with Kid Harpoon and Jessie Ware. Recorded mostly in HAIM's native Los Angeles, the album sees sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim working alongside acclaimed producers Ariel Rechtshaid (Usher, Vampire Weekend) and James Ford (Florence and the Machine, Arctic Monkeys). Description Days Are Gone is the highly anticipated debut album from breakout band HAIM.
