HAIM -–DAYS ARE GONE
It’s been a while since a girl band wrote and performed their own songs. Led by the three Haim sisters, this LA-based outfit is like the teen love child of The Bangles and Destiny’s Child. It’s classic Americana with a dollop of R&B to keep it contemporary. Days Are Gone has already produced four hits, including The Wire with its gentle sexy swagger making it stand out from the pack. If you’re after a different take on Haim, investigate housemeister Duke Dumont’s looping remix of Falling on the deluxe edition where the gals aren’t afraid to get in touch with their inner dance floor diva.
