Under The Radar
In lesser hands it’d be a slog of a hodgepodge. But with musicians as accomplished, daring, and pop savvy as this (and let’s not forget their good taste in influences), I Quit hardly shows a seam. If anything, it’s further proof that HAIM is the most thrillingly versatile band working today

‘I quit’ is a record that’s fallen straight out of 1977, bringing in whispers of Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young and Gloria Gaynor: one or two more daring decisions and it would be truly great

May not be the band at their peak, but it’s a necessary step to close one chapter of their career and find their way to the next. It leaves listeners with the sense that HAIM is going to rise from the ashes of what didn’t serve them, onto bigger and better things
