HAIM

cutting their teeth in the teenpop world is such a cool little detail

I think this is their weakest single to date but that's really down to the song rather than the production choices.

Word. Actually, I feel like each successive single has been weaker than the last.

xpost to MattDC I saw them a couple of times last year, and both times was impressed, but noticed the sets were only six or seven songs - and the best of them had been floating around YouTube for years. Which didn't fill me with confidence for the long term.

"falling" is their best song imo

^^

Don't Save Me > Go Slow > The Wire > Falling > Forever > Better Off > Honey & I (maybe? I haven't heard a studio version yet)

Oh whoops. I forgot Send Me Down, which would probably be between Falling and Forever.

was gonna complain how the hype is doing this thing of fixating on the wrong old band they sound like (fleetwood mac instead of the pretenders!) but google shows me this isn't really true at all.

I don't get why I've seen so many Stevie Nicks references when she sounds way more like Christine McVie to me.

they musically sound like FM but she is in no way like nicks! so dumb

Pretenders with a FM production sounds more accurate.

Hypem.com community loves them btw, yesterday I gave the wire a 'like' and it was on a measly 28 or so today it has jumped to 2.3K

I always forget about hype machine being a thing that exists, but I guess it's still useful in some way?

If you have a profile and personalize it to follow your type of blogs it's a great way to find new music, otherwise it's filled with bloghouse and amateur remixes. The popular section is also a fun alternate to the mainstream charts (albeit also filled with the afformentioned crap remixes).

Like per example you can follow cool mp3 blogs like awesome tapes from africa and soulsides (and moteldemoka, heh) and its an easier way to listen to a feed.

Would have been nice to have had the album for the summer though.

i'm not even so head over heels for this band but this greatly disappointed me too

Is blog house still a thing that exists? Or did dubstep take over that?

Yes and yes.

bloghaus just eventually subsumed dubstep back into itself

i get why their drummer isnt a band member but i wish he was

But he is.

(Just not in the photos, I guess.)

is he though?

Dash Hutton makes it into some promo shots:

link w/ albumcover

i feel like that cover could be better

i wonder why it took so long if so few of the songs are new

Don't like the cover choice, but I took it upon myself to at least make it a little more in line with the singles that have been released so far.

yeah the cover's not up to much is it? i preferred the black-and-white-and-pink-scrawl of this, much more like a 'classic album'

I was hoping "Send Me Down" would be on this.

K, quick sketch since I don't have the actual font nor the cover photo with good quality

http://i.imgur.com/u5mHJ5N.jpg

ha well that's amazing.

I tweaked Moka's just a teeny bit with higher res image and making the "days are gone" script slightly darker. I'll be using this image for my id3 tags when the album leaks/comes out for purchase.

Ah yeah that photo looks way better, good job JF.

:D

what a remarkably ugly cover (the real one)

if we all stick this on our Tumblrs maybe they'll change it; it's clearly better than the real thing.

I'm already using it as the definite cover in my itunes. I tried the real one and this alternate one and I much rather prefer the later one.

That looks great!

YES!

album is really good btw. Probably the best songs on it have already been released but front to back a really strong and consistent piece
