Something To Tell You

The second studio album from the sister trio, "Something To Tell You" showcases HAIM’s signature blend of indie pop and rock, firmly rooted in the alternative genre. Released in 2017, the record is characterized by its shimmering guitar riffs, lush harmonies, and a rhythmic backbone that often oscillates between upbeat tempos and more reflective moments. The production, helmed by the band alongside established collaborator Ariel Rechtshaid, deftly balances polished pop sensibilities with a raw, organic feel that echoes their live performances. Texturally, the album layers bright synths, punchy drums, and intricate guitar work, creating an expansive soundscape that invites listeners to immerse themselves. Tracks like “Want You Back” open with a driving beat and a catchy bass line, while “Little of Your Love” showcases their knack for anthemic choruses paired with introspective lyrics. The album's emotional core is palpable, with themes of longing and vulnerability woven throughout, particularly in tracks like “Something to Tell You,” which reflects on personal relationships with a poignant sincerity. Culturally, HAIM emerges from the rich tapestry of 2010s indie music, drawing influences from classic rock and contemporary pop, yet they carve out a distinct identity that resonates with both nostalgic and modern sensibilities. The album captures the essence of a band evolving while remaining true to their roots, making it a noteworthy entry in the landscape of alternative music from this era.
