Office Listening: Haim 'Days are Gone'

Image: Haim

Haim have been inescapable in 2013. The female trio from LA, sisters Este Arielle, Danielle Sari and Alana Mychal, have been one of the buzz groups of the year off the back off their thoroughly enthralling debut Days are Gone (stream below on Spotify), earning comparisons with Fleetwood Mac, TLC and Janis Joplin among the way.

Their sound, a woozy blend of R&B harmonies with the classic Americana and folk of the seventies, has ensured they've secured fans with a wide variety of tastes and palettes (Jay signed them up to his Roc Nation touring agency), a perfect representation of the iPod generation's disparate influences. We're not lying here, this album has had at least one airing a week in our office and most weeks more than that.

We'll get the chance to catch out whether this collage of sounds translates to their record collection, when they rock up to the Deaf Institute for a DJ set on Saturday 7th December. Head here for further details.
