Eventually Danielle, Este and Alana broke away from their parents and crafted \u2018Days Are Gone\u2019, one of the most anticipated releases of 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The trio\u2019s sound is defined by funky bass lines, strong earthy drumming and Danielle\u2019s fierce vocal delivery. \u201cFalling\u201d is an empowering opener delivering all this and more. Fuelled by Este\u2019s thundering bass line and infectious synths it sets the upbeat mood. The feel good vibes keep coming on \u201cForever\u201d will its catchy chorus and hand claps. Lyrically, the topic of heartbreak is explored throughout the record but with suggestions of moving forward, \u201cI&#8217;m tired of fighting the good fight, if you say the word then I&#8217;ll say goodbye\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Recent single \u201cThe Wire\u201d channels Fleetwood Mac through twanging guitars and luscious harmonies. It seems Haim have already broken more than a few hearts warning \u201cAlways keep your heart locked tight, don&#8217;t let your mind retire\u201d. \u201cIf I Could Change Your Mind\u201d is jam packed with more irresistible hooks and &#8216;summery&#8217; guitars. The sweet \u201cHoney &amp; I\u201d slows things down slightly with a repetitive guitar riff and restrained drums. Este and Alana deliver effortless backing vocals which soar over flourishes of synths.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Title track \u201cDays Are Gone\u201d is one hell of a tune. Este takes over the role of lead singer, showing off her falsetto like vocals. The song swirls towards the chorus which is injected with touches of electronics. The distorted vocals and growling rhythm section on \u201cMy Song 5\u201d conveys a darker R&amp;B vibe which screams \u201cDon\u2019t mess with us\u201d. It is a slightly different feel for Haim but works well amongst the polished pop songs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cGo Slow\u201d offers a gentler moment filled with blissful harmonies before \u201cLet You Go\u201d, radiating a seductive confidence, returns to Haim\u2019s signature furious drumming. Perfect for an 80\u2019s soundtrack, the nostalgic \u201cRunning If You Call My Name\u201d leaves listeners on an emotional high driven by Danielle\u2019s honest lyrics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2018Days Are Gone\u2019 is overflowing with influences which blend together to create a thoughtful and tight record. This is a record you can dance, cry or sing along to. This is a record that you want to blast shamelessly loud in your car.This is a record you want to play over and over again. Haim should not be underestimated, they are just getting started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4\/5 Stars<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>The album is available on iTunes here: <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/au\/artist\/haim\/id164483115\u200e\">www.itunes.apple.com\/au\/artist\/haim\/id164483115\u200e<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just Getting Started By Melina Scarfo Haim seem to have come out of nowhere, winning us over with their mix of nineties R&amp;B and seventies soft rock.The three sisters grew up in California on a diet of classic rock playing in their family band Rockinhaim.
