For those of you who don’t know by now, Haim are releasing a new album on June 20.
Hoddle Headqaurters has been keeping up with Haim’s activity since they released their first song for that album, titled I Quit.
So far we’ve covered three of their singles for the record:
Relationships
Everybody’s trying to figure me out
Down to be wrong
It’s becoming clearer and clearer that this is a breakup album, and lead singer Danielle Haim has got some thing she needs to say. The first song was your classic “relationships suck” sort of thing. The second follows some of that angstiness that follows a major life change, whilst the third is a bit more rebellious.
Today’s track of the day, Take me back, naturally is seeped in nostalgia. Danielle Haim’s lyrics are all about returning to their teenage days, being silly kids, having silly crushes and getting into all sorts of weightless adventures.
The band wrote, in part, on instagram: “this was a very nostalgic time for the 3 of us because we all found ourselves single for the first time since we were all in high school. ... we all just started exchanging crazy stories about our teenage years.”
So it seems we’re dealing with different stages of a breakup. This one is the least edgy of them all. Instead it features a nice acoustic guitar breezily carrying the lyrics, which aren’t the best collection of words put down on paper.
Only fifteen days until the new album comes out.
