HAIM

Thanks, but no thanks.

:)

after some elementary Instagram stalking it appears that HAIM were in the studio in December

I would be very surprised if there's not an album this year (hopefully sooner rather than later), 3 years is a pretty standard album cycle length (though many seem to be increasingly taking 4 years or more these days?)

They said they'd written a bunch on tour in 2014 and seem to have spent most of 2015 in the studio, which seems fairly normal. Artists may now have more freedom to release things more regularly outside the standard album cycle stuff but it doesn't seem that any really want to any more than before.

it could be done but record label is waiting til some time like september when big releases come out

or maybe they will do a beyonce and release it out of the blue.

Anyway, we'll always have the Calvin Harris track.

Did they play any new stuff when they were touring with T. Swift last summer?

only the Calvin Harris track

I know Ariel Rechtshaid is also involved in production on that Calvin Harris track but it doesn't sound as good as the Days Are Gone material (regardless of the actual song). Whenever the rock instruments filter through it sounds good... I'm assuming Ariel did the backbone of the track with Haim elsewhere and then Calvin Harris added the synth stabs that cheapen the whole thing.

Prince cover is damn good.

Can't wait to hear these new songs properly, but my initial impression of them is v positive!

New album in the Autumn

Cool. I hope they release an album of drum collaborations with Phil Collins.

hum. new album on the 27th !
at last after almost 4y...
It's a pretty long time for a second album !

(eheh, I just noticed I basically wrote the same thing last year... time flies !)

that drums teaser is not great, though... they're not REALLY good at it !

Lol not at all

they should've just used the last five seconds

Eh, none of them are drummers, they did fine.

sure and it's all good fun just kind of weird to do a video like that in an online landscape full of videos with impressive amateur drummers

I'm not sure if the video was supposed to be impressive or fun, perhaps neither

I just assumed they were recording overdubs for a track.

Pretty sure that's exactly how they recorded drums on the last album too.

aaah well then I just missed the point!
nm

I doubt it's a recording session since they don't wear headphones. Plus there seem to be a special effort in the lighting/set up.
anyway, I'll be glad to listen to their new album.

i don't rly like the song so much but this P.T. Anderson video is really excellent

hm yeah that is kinda whatever

there was a song in there?

very weird single choice

loved their debut album but i have pretty low expectations for the new one

I think the song has potential if they get the production right. I mean, it's nothing we haven't heard from them before but nothing wrong with that, imo.

Do we know who is involved in the production of this album?

ariel rechtshaid is credited in the video description

anyway, nice demo i guess, could use some embellishment

I get the feeling this could end up like the second Bush album

Kate Bush?

That song sounds a lot cooler once you loop in that earlier drum circle.

Oh shit, I posted that before the song got to the drum circle!

I get the feeling this could end up like the second Bush album

Haim and Albini together at last

Is this really the single? I can see it more as an album opener. Hopefully a fully produced version is much stronger but right now, this is a disappointment. The Paramore single is a thousand times better.

haim reportedly 'distraught' at prospect of selling six million copies of their second record

Hopefully a fully produced version is much stronger but right now,

right now

That drum circle needed to be a lot more powerful to redeem this nothing song.

i don't think it's the proper single since there's no studio version yet? really weird way to lead things, it's exactly the sort of song that doesn't benefit at all from all that ambient noise

Y'all are being harsh here. I'm loving this.

thought this was pretty cool. it's obviously an in-studio promo video i imagine the finished version will sound different.

a proper single is coming wednesday apparently

boring spaciousness, reminds of the latest harry styles in that regard

Yeah, this isn't the studio version and a proper single is coming on 5/3, album out 7/7
