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."

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
― sweat pea (La Lechera), Tuesday, 26 November 2013 20:48 (ten years ago) link
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.

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

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.

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.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 00:07 (ten years ago) link
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.
