HAIM

Ha, I'm only really questioning the lead singer Haim tbh.

bored of them already.

i'm with you, rev.

Wow, I've been p underwhelmed by everything I've heard by these guys so far but Days Are Gone (the song)is p great huh? Pur cyborg pop, like a combination of Big Love and Strawberry Skies

My favorite song on the album looks to have a video just as good. Can't wait.

In a way, I'm glad that didn't place in the 2013 poll so it's eligible for the 2014 poll.

Oh shit, the typography in that is giving me a design boner.

omg

ok that's incredible

Is that shark double bass face.

this video is gonna rule

YES!

I love that they didn't fake it. They're not the greatest dancers but there's nothing ironic about their performance.

They're no Destiny's Child, that's for sure. The dance sequences don't really do much for me there. I enjoy them more playing their instruments, especially in live clips.

Had never noticed their green (lying) eyes before :)

That is really awesome! Wish more pop was that fun.

So good.

I like the facial expression on the guy playing the drums.

clapping is key

awesome

go haim

Love, love, LOVE this. I'm ashamed to say I hadn't paid enough attention to HAIM in time for the 2013 poll, but I'm definitely gonna be voting for this next time. I just love this band.

it's one of my favourite songs on the album but the video is nothing special, is it ?
the dancing is meh and the "stage" part has the same inspiration as the strokes "last nite" video, for instance (but less fun).
the clapping is good though.

it's got great lighting and lots of cool shots

hum. I prefer the groove in the nature of "falling" or the dancing in the shop/bicycle riding of "forever", for instance.
very cool song anyway.
I haven't listened to the album for a while but the song that I didn't like a lot at first and is finally one of my favourites is "running if you call my name".
Love the chord change and the opening of the song toward the end.
The are moments when I swear I hear Lindsay Buckingham in the vocal harmonies !

Is there any chance they could have a pop hit with this song? They seem to have been coded as "indie" for some reason, but if this song came on a pop radio station it wouldn't sound any more out of place than the Lorde or Lana Del Rey songs they play all the time.

The best HAIM byproduct is handwringing "rants" like these, never get enough: http://www.antiquiet.com/music/2014/02/haim-if-i-could-change-your-mind-video/

what the fuck is antiquiet

Just had a brief dream about H&M teaming up with HAIM for a new product line

i'm sure it wasn't meant this way, but "it’s the same exact shit, except some hipster rabbi somewhere waved a magic indie dildo over it and called it kosher" is a creepy thing to say about 3 jewish sisters.

was just about to post that exact line, except that I think it was meant in exactly that way

I mean, how else are we supposed to read that?

yeah, that also struck me as weird... not to say more.

and the entertainment industry...

At Antiquiet, we very much pride ourselves in cutting through the shit and telling it like it is

We’re just calling it like we see it, for better or worse.

every single person in the world who 'tells it like it is' or 'is just being honest for your own good' is always a DICK

I find their ability to channel/mimic the late '80s and early '90s so uncanny, not least because they were all born in the late '80s and early '90s.

they take huge risks and have the courage to tell the truth about this vehicule of (cultural) domination that is HAIM. the world is not ready. in the meantime : vive la résistance !

I mean, how else are we supposed to read that?

my guess is that it's based on the popular misconception that kosher status is arbitrarily determined by whether a rabbi blesses the food or not... but yeah.

is there such a thing as a hipster rabbi ? ironic religion ?

that line was truly awful and gross

Jesus, that's a terrible takedown. On behalf of all HAIM haters, I apologise
