HAIM

i hate it when bloggers say sorry repeatedly for a lapse in their regular posting routine, i mean really, chill out mang.

but i'll admit i've been holding out for something mind-blowing and that thing is so seriously and sincerely and obviously...

HAIM

LA-based girl band,

opening for Florence + The Machine,
 who clearly has good taste considering their contagious lax vibe. 
the part of me that is so deeply devoted to Fleetwood Mac and the "je-ne-sais-quoi" quality in Stevie Nicks' voice is on fire. they're so electric for no reason i can articulate. i can seriously see why they're exploding. 

(also... they totally covered Fleetwood Mac for a tribute album. check it. arrangement is killer.)

it's really satisfying calling Haim a "girl band," since, in listening to their tracks you get the impression that they're just a great band with a unique and distinctive sound, nothing showy, very modern and clever. i really love their use of electronic percussion in a rock song, feels organic. 

i'm gonna like these guys for a REALLY long time. 
cheers.

everything i want.

she's perfect.

i think i'll always come back to stevie. 

she's just perfect. 

unassuming. 

casual. 

and straight up.

this is one of my favourite songs. always brings me back to the right place. treat it well for me.

love and things,
