DIY
Where debut ‘Days Are Gone’ felt like a hybrid record, merging synthetic drum machines with organic samples to the point that the two became totally indistinguishable, ‘Something To Tell You’ feels like an altogether different prospect

Haim are a sleek outfit with an ear for catchy melodies and big, crowd-pleasing choruses. They aren't out to re-invent the wheel, and nor do they seem interested in doing so

No matter how late it is at night, you won’t be able to forget this album. In fact, you’ll probably be singing the chorus to “Want You Back” later today

'You Never Knew’ best sums up Haim’s current shape. It sounds like Fleetwood Mac in its pace (in particular ‘Little Lies’), which is the band most compared to Haim
