Whenever they use a skittering rhythm track that forces them to go almost breathless, I swoon.

but then I liked Something to Tell You more than most, I think.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:37 (four years ago) link
something to tell you remains quite underrated
agree that this track is very "i love you always forever" too
― ufo, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:46 (four years ago) link
Let's put it this way: the Jennifer Paige of "Crush" would've killed this too.

Well whatever the influence is I love how it sounds on them.

Thought it was a cover of Bootylicious before the vocals came in.
― Fetchboy, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 21:24 (four years ago) link
Yeah that rhythmic chug def has "Edge of 17" vibes, albeit thinner.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 21:26 (four years ago) link
Feel like this new one is their best track to date
― winters (josh), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 23:46 (four years ago) link
Very "Edge of 17" indeed !And they also still have some VW gimmicks (the synth choir, the piano) which is normal since Batmanglij is on the production team.

Now that's more like it.

On the other hand I think it's been too long since the last time I heard a guitar solo from Dani.
― cpl593H, Thursday, 31 October 2019 15:02 (four years ago) link
Feels like they're moving into more refined territory

love this. leans heavily into fleetwood mac territory, but at the same time feels like a new landscape for them
― monotony, Monday, 18 November 2019 23:51 (four years ago) link
if it exists/ever comes out this might be their best album
Pretty song.

amazing song, not too far from carpenters territory neither. sounds like a classic.

can't say why but i bet alfred especially loves this one
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 20:02 (four years ago) link
the intro of this sounded great perking up through the dying nasty chord at the end of the Ulcerate single

really nice chorus

The main guitar lick's cool -- yeah, a Sheryl Crow vibe. The verses are kinda blah?

i feel like u can tell which parts of this video were directed by a PT Anderson and which parts were directed by a HAIM

interesting that they are kind of accreting a great 2020 album where I'll have listened to most of the best tracks in 2019
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 4 March 2020 00:50 (four years ago) link
that's kinda how their debut rolled out
― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Wednesday, 4 March 2020 15:38 (four years ago) link
This sounds more influenced by songs in Tusk like “what makes you think you’re the one” than by Sheryl Crow.

lot of the weird fuzzy boxy disembodiedness of "the ledge" in the production

i’m really into this - the way it sounds, the writing, the video! danielle thumping the drums!!
so far it’s now i’m in it > the steps > hallelujah > summer girl for me, though i find something to enjoy in all of them
― monotony, Saturday, 7 March 2020 08:27 (four years ago) link
Correct ranking
― Tim F, Saturday, 7 March 2020 08:49 (four years ago) link
it is the correct order. more generally, having drifted away a little after their early singles, i’m delighted at the quality of the recent stuff.
― Fizzles, Saturday, 7 March 2020 09:39 (four years ago) link
The Steps is one of the best three or four songs they've ever recorded. It is WAY UP THERE for me.

that ruled, thanks.
agree with monotony that "Now I'm in It" is still tops though.

“Our first show ever was at canters deli in 2000 so we decided we want to play shows at different delis across America to celebrate our new record,” Haim wrote on Instagram. “We’ve never done anything like this before so let’s all get together and eat some matzo ball soup and we’ll play you some songs live. Maybe some new ones??”
Haim’s D.C. show will take place on Wednesday, March 11. The location is currently unspecified,

Not seeing an email notice, so I guess no bagels and Haim for me today

It's pretty nifty how Danielle and Alana keep trading that riff off back & forth between the verses/choruses.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 11 March 2020 18:47 (four years ago) link
that's a really great performance
they've now marked the three prior singles as bonus tracks on the itunes tracklisting (no other track titles yet except "the steps"), which is slightly disappointing i guess
― ufo, Thursday, 12 March 2020 10:26 (four years ago) link
Nothing off their last album did anything for me, but I love the The Steps and really like Summer Girl.
― Biden my time/Drinking her wine (PBKR), Thursday, 12 March 2020 11:10 (four years ago) link
i still think the second album was really solid and underrated and better than the debut as an album even if it didn't reach the same peaks, but if they can keep up the quality of the singles for the whole album this should surely be their best
― ufo, Thursday, 12 March 2020 11:34 (four years ago) link
Their greatest hits will be pretty ace.
