HAIM - Something To Tell You 2xLP

Label: Columbia

Something To Tell You, is the highly anticipated sophomore album from HAIM. When the time came to record the eleven tracks that make up Something To Tell You, HAIM decided to "go in and record as a band, keeping it a little more organic. That was kind of a mission statement for the album" offered Danielle Haim.

Haim’s glossy second album is slyly complex. The California sisters remain masters of rhythm and create spacious pop-rock full of heartbreak, longing, and betrayal. Here, HAIM deliver 11 songs of expert song writing and fine-tuned studio trickery that sharpen their jukebox classicism; percussion-based, harmony-heavy West Coast pop-rock is once again the dominant theme.

Haim—who have roots in a prefab mid-aughts major label band that was literally called Valli Girls—write songs so impeccably savvy and clear-headed that Something to Tell You feels like a sly pop-music manifestation of this idea. Haim remain slaves to the rhythm, but this time they’re leading the way.
