HAIM

have you heard their 1989 album with the syndrums?

yeah i love plenty of consciously revivalist stuff, but it's not just because i realize more is good, but because i key into what they're doing differently - eagles of death metal earns a "lol canned heat" but there's qualities to their best stuff that're nothing like canned heat. i'm not saying that isn't the case with haim as much as what makes them distinctive has yet to make them more appealing to me. and that's a big "yet."

some day this thread will pinpoint the exact retro sound haim is aping

someday.

"Now if x = Fleetwood Mac…"

i honestly don't get glib defensive shit like this.

the key thing about the SNL appearance is that i now know, for absolute sure, how to pronounce their name.

at least the anglicized version

ha.

I wish HAIM sounded a little more like King Crimson Roches, I think.

i love the bass face
the drummer was making the same face and he was barely doing anything

yeah, he was giving good drummerface, but he was in the background and out of focus most of the time.

there should be a category for keyboardface. Chris Lowe perfected it: don't give face at all.

I thought Ron Mael of Sparks owned the keyboardface category.

i was so excited to see them in paris this weekend and it turns out it's sold out. despite not saying so on their FB. DECEPTIVE! grrr.

The video for "The Wire" is SO EMBARRASSINGLY BAD

I heard The Long Run on the radio today and realized that it's a tiny Don Henley in her throat, not MMcD. Same weird staccato!

they are huge eagles fans

then i think don henley is patient 0!

Stevie very much otm about that dreadful video

I heard The Long Run on the radio today and realized that it's a tiny Don Henley in her throat, not MMcD. Same weird staccato!

you'd have to be to eat don henley

In Eaglesland, Don Henley eats you!

Tbh, "Henley In The Throat" sounds like a euphemism for throat herpes.

that's not at ALL what i meant

and i don't mean to insinuate anything like that -- just that she sings like don henley sings

what would Don 'n' think of Haim?

*Don 'n' Glenn

Bass face, Henley throat.

DON: To hear a new artist or group, such as Haim, cite us as an influence is something of an honor. I would love to have them give a private performance for my children, who are big fans as well.

GLENN: A private performance from three sisters? Takes me back to to the grotto at 1740 La Fontaine Ct....Hey, are you sure our paternity tests for these chicks was neg?

DON: Well, yeah.

just want to call attention to the potential triple meaning of this joke

Please, I think I've already thought of every possible graphic angle on this.

ugh

i wasn't even thinking of that honestly

Falling has a notable echo of 1901 by Phoenix.

ridiculous bassface and hype train aside, "honey and i" is quite a lovely tune

Here's a recommendation for you HAIM fans: The Preatures. I haven't seen them mentioned in this thread and they sound really similar to Haim.

This song does, not their other stuff so much. I posted it in my Shambhala thread and the rolling pop thread a while back. Still one of my faves from 2013.

Oh yeah, just this one for now. It's pretty good. Heard it on a bar and thought it was Haim for a minute there.

OMG.

I wish it was as good as it should've been.
