Get excited about... #Haimtime is approaching - what to expect from a new Haim LP

Haim’s ‘Days Are Gone’ was released almost two years ago - with no real material apart from collaborations being released since. It’s been a tortuous wait for the #Old-Haimers – all they’ve had to survive on are drained-dry memories of Este’s bassface, that year when they played every stage at Glastonbury and that time that they said :This one is for you D.C.” to the waxwork smiles of our Prime Minister. Yeah that was awkward.

On the not too distant horizon is a rainbow, and on the end of that is a pot of gold and that gold, ladies and gentlemen, is Haim’s new album. That’s right – along with announcing that they’ve only gone and landed their own Beats 1 Show, they’ve said that they’re working on a new LP. Get your Christmas tree out. Wear that outrageous snapback everyone else thinks you’re too old for. And dance like you’ve never danced before to ‘The Wire’. #HaimTime is near.

Sure, a lot of questions will come flooding in like a sonic wave of pitch-perfect three-part harmonies. What will it sound like? Who will it be produced by? Will they do life-size cardboard cut-outs as part of the official merchandise? Fear not. We’ve got it all covered – we’ve had a sneak-peek into our crystal balls and tried to have a guess and a ponder over what the album could bring. Stop dancing manically for a bit – take a seat (and a large breath) – and have a little read.
