Stop being a pussy, grow some balls and start listening to HAIM already. Seriously, what the fuck are you waiting for? A handwritten invitation from the Queen Elizabeth II, specifically telling you to jump on the bandwagon? You might as well just give up and embrace these gals, because they’re the best trio of sisters doing it for themselves (with the help of a record label) since Hanson. This is solid pop music, people! Shove it deep into your earholes and let it jizz awesomeness onto your brain.
Begin your initiation into the Church of HAIM with “Don’t Save Me“, if you haven’t already done so.
Then, once you’ve sufficiently baptized yourself in those sweet aural waves, move on to the latest (and perhaps greatest) single “Falling”. This track takes Sam Wolfson‘s genius quote from The Guardian—“music that sounds like it was written on a lakeside retreat attended by Stevie Nicks, John Waite and En Vogue“—and brings it to life beyond the group’s Wikipedia page.
We weren’t surprised to hear that the track was produced by Ariel Rechtshaid, who had a hand in producing and/or writing Charli XCX‘s “Nuclear Seasons“, Usher‘s “Climax” and Sky Ferreira‘s “Everything Is Embarrassing” + “Lost In My Bedroom“. This man is clearly on a roll.

Take a listen to “Falling” below:
the name sounds like a noise a yeast infection makes.
very ’70s AM radio fun sound though.
Seeing them with mumford and sons this weekend, woot!
They sound different than I expected.
Hey jealousy!
(Amidst all the Mumford & Sons snobbery, I am man enough to admit that I love them a little and want Marcus Mumford to impregnate me.)
Ooh I like the sound~ Kinda retro and that’s always a plus.
