(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 !
― AlXTC from Paris, Monday, 24 April 2017 14:28 (seven years ago) link
Lol not at all
they should've just used the last five seconds
― niels, Monday, 24 April 2017 14:37 (seven years ago) link
Eh, none of them are drummers, they did fine.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 24 April 2017 17:51 (seven years ago) link
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
― niels, Monday, 24 April 2017 18:06 (seven years ago) link
I just assumed they were recording overdubs for a track.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 24 April 2017 18:47 (seven years ago) link
Pretty sure that's exactly how they recorded drums on the last album too.
― Moodles, Monday, 24 April 2017 18:54 (seven years ago) link
aaah well then I just missed the point!nm
― niels, Monday, 24 April 2017 18:55 (seven years ago) link
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.

there was a song in there?

very weird single choice
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 27 April 2017 14:00 (seven years ago) link
loved their debut album but i have pretty low expectations for the new one
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Thursday, 27 April 2017 14:15 (seven years ago) link
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?
― daavid, Thursday, 27 April 2017 14:16 (seven years ago) link
ariel rechtshaid is credited in the video description
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 27 April 2017 14:17 (seven years ago) link
anyway, nice demo i guess, could use some embellishment
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 27 April 2017 14:18 (seven years ago) link
I get the feeling this could end up like the second Bush album

Kate Bush?
― Moodles, Thursday, 27 April 2017 14:28 (seven years ago) link
That song sounds a lot cooler once you loop in that earlier drum circle.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 27 April 2017 14:29 (seven years ago) link
Oh shit, I posted that before the song got to the drum circle!

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.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 27 April 2017 14:45 (seven years ago) link
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
― niels, Thursday, 27 April 2017 15:15 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, this isn't the studio version and a proper single is coming on 5/3, album out 7/7

yet more evidence of 77 borad entering the collective subconscious

77 borad users have had the new HAIM album for months. They've been listening to it in there while we starve out here.

i don't think the problem with this song is the production as much as it is the fact that there's really not much of a song there
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 27 April 2017 15:43 (seven years ago) link
I think the album version will sound very different, don't know if that will improve it though
― Moodles, Thursday, 27 April 2017 15:51 (seven years ago) link
sarah mary chadwick's last album did this type of approach a lot better, this song is so great

I'm with Johnny Fever on this. Even as a demo that chorus hook is really instant. The video reminds me of when Rilo Kiley used to write great songs and then stick them at the back end of their albums with crappy Casio preset production.
― boxedjoy, Friday, 28 April 2017 09:46 (seven years ago) link
man i love that guitar sound.
haim used have an actual drummer. with the very rock name of dash hutton! wonder what happened :(
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 28 April 2017 10:13 (seven years ago) link
Wasn't Dash only their live drummer and doesn't appear on any of their recorded output?
― groovypanda, Friday, 28 April 2017 10:35 (seven years ago) link
ahhh you could be right!

i don't mind this new single! it's not exceptional but it's not terrible. it seems promising.
