Bands that see success early-on frequently want to release the songs that were made popular before their breakthrough on the first studio album. The biggest issue with the album is a problem that many new bands suffer from - a lack of new material. Also of note is penultimate track “Let Me Go,” which tastefully blends soul with electronically produced percussion beats with their alternative rock sound into a single slick package. A prime example of that diversity comes on “My Song 5” - confusingly placed as the eighth track - which strays into grunge and blues-rock while Danielle gives a cathartic recount of a particularly nasty break up. However, the impressive part is HAIM’s excursions into other genres. The classic rock intros to the delightfully catchy “Honey & I” and spunky fourth single “The Wire” - complete with frequent “Heys!” to emphasize certain lines - will certainly solidify that parity. The most apt comparison of the band would be to Fleetwood Mac, but to pigeon-hole HAIM as a copycat would be a disservice. The band is taking the alternative rock scene by storm, touring with groups including Florence + the Machine and Julian Casablancas of The Strokes, and has been featured by the likes of Kid Cudi and Major Lazer. HAIM is composed of the three Haim sisters - Este (bass), Danielle (vocals, guitar), and Alana (keys, rhythm guitar) - and drummer Dash Hutton.

When I first heard of HAIM I made two mistakes.
