Electro-indie sister trio HAIM is finally making their big break onto the music scene. After branching away from their family band Rockinhaim (founded by their parents), Alana, Danielle, and Este Haim, with the recent addition of drummer Dash Hutton, are receiving much critical praise. Taking influences from the recent electronic music trend and mixing it with aspects of the 70’s soft rock, HAIM has a sound not found anywhere in modern music today. Praised for their enchanting and ghostly harmonies, their debut full-length album Days Are Gone was released last year, after much anticipation following their EP, Forever.

Commonly compared to 70’s group Fleetwood Mac, HAIM (pronounced hy-em) insists that their music style is heavily influenced by the 90’s girl-group sounds of Destiny’s Child and TLC, in addition to a variety of other music of earlier decades. Individually, each sister could perform as a one-woman band, with Alana achieving mastery on the keyboard, percussion and guitar, Danielle with guitar and drums, and Este with both guitar and bass (in addition to performing as lead vocalist in both live and recording sessions).

Before headlining their own tours in Europe, Canada, and the western portion of the United States this past year, HAIM toured as the supporting act for both Mumford & Sons and Florence and The Machine, then later went on to perform their own set at Glastonbury Festival in 2013. With their growing popularity, they were asked to perform on Saturday Night Live last November, where they performed their top hits “The Wire” and “Don’t Save Me,” as well as being featured on the soundtrack for the 2013 remake of Carrie.

Although releasing “The Wire” as their debut single, Days Are Gone is full of catchy hits of equal or greater musical quality. Upon review, some favorites include “My Song 5,” “Forever,” and “Days Are Gone,” for which the album is named.

If you’re looking for some music with killer bass, drums, and guitar, perfect harmonization, and overall catchy tunes, HAIM is it. Plus, you can totally pull a hipster moment and tell everyone you knew them before they “made it big,” if you are so inclined.
