HAIM

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.

So this happened: https://soundcloud.com/haimtime/haim-forever-giorgio-moroder

OMG.

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

Yeah he's basically just made it into a big EDM thud. Couple of nice touches though.

I like that it's recognizably the same song, only DANCE

dullnce

vocoder part is very bizarre love triangle

That's definitely the best bit.

Don't bother to buy the 2x45 LP.

Why not?

full of live spiders iirc

Because if you buy it on vinyl in the hope that it has dynamic range and isn't hot mastered like the CD, you're in for a disappointment.

Speaking from experience btw

i bought it in the hope of hearing some rad music

Me too! I just wish the quiet bits sounded proportionately quieter than the loud bits and there was less overall distortion. Like Nick S might say, it's more fun that way.

ha, i bought and listened to this on CD for the first and second time today.

Huh, so re: previous versions of "The Wire", they said they recorded it 7 or 8 times before they came up with a version they saw fit for release.

I think the biggest Fleetwood Mac influence is the bass player looks almost exactly like Mick Fleetwood, even going as far as to ape his gruesome facial tics:

Just now getting on this bandwagon, was sold from the first thirty seconds of "Falling." Wow!

they're very tight live. SNL is tough to pull off. You can definitely see why the lead vocalist is the lead in that video.

i love all of their faces all of the time

Wait you're telling me Fleetwood Mac was actually named after a person...?

I really love "Falling" and "Let Me Go"

they're very tight live. SNL is tough to pull off. You can definitely see why the lead vocalist is the lead in that video.

I don't know if you were responding to me or not, but just to be clear I didn't mean she was the better looking one or anything, just seems to be the most confident performer.

nah more a general response to "lol/wtf @ bass face" comments ad nauseam

wish NBC could figure out a way to sell ads to international viewers cause i'd love to see that clip :(

finally bought this album the other day after playing the "Forever" EP over and over again. Excellent album, and how has "If I Could Change Your Mind" not been made a single yet? One of my favourites from last year, for sure.

It's the only Haim track on my ballot (my other favorites placed last year).

I'm sure I read somewhere that If I Could Change Your Mind was the next single.

Is "Go Slow" on the album mixed differently from the version on the "Forever" EP? It sounds subtly different, the vocals on the chorus are a bit richer-sounding.

This is like "The WIre" video except more honest lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u4tpZFf5xI

this doesn't sound like haim tho

sounds more like be your own pet or something

i know i was joking

its more of a conceptual thing

Listening to the album for the first time (I bought all the early singles, but interest had waned by the time Days Are Gone was released). Most striking thing for me is the Pinback riff (Non-Photo Blue) in Go Slow.

...which apparently I didn't notice on the ep.

Am I the only one who has noticed the complete absence of pronouns on this album? Not saying, but just saying.

You mean second person pronouns? Cause there are plenty of me's and I's on there.

there are plenty of yous--rev u mean gendered pronouns?

Third person singular (human)
Y'all need pronoun school

err, yeah, I meant gendered pronouns. I should have been more specific.

yeah i don't think this is surprising, my fav haim lyrics (the wire, if i could change your mind) are from the perspective of someone who's very much in their own head so it's all i/you hypersubjective stuff
