Music sites are obsessed with Haim, and it's hard to ignore that, but in the end that's a pretty good pop album. This comparisons sounds like a competition to prove who knew Stevie Nicks first (I don't even know if Stevie is the girl or the guy on Fleetwood Mac)
The internet has exploded with love for Haim and I want to jump on the bandwagon, I really do. It was only when I checked out a video of a live performance that I started to understand the appeal but I don't think I'll be won over. Alas.
@itskerryc ironically after NME going on about them so much, pitchfork and the quietus which both practically ignored them who gave them more positive reviews!
@mjgBZ32 Ok Michael, I will make a future diary note to check out how much humble pie I will need to eat :-) In the mean time I will stay out of "harms" way.
@mjgBZ32 nothing like some healthy skepticism to stay sane. Time will tell. Me - I'm not sure. All I know is that they are OK but there is lots more interesting, unheralded music around.

It's good pop, but I am not as sold as NME et al. I keep reading the band name as HARM.
itskerryc
Oh, and they look like well polished performers.

@itskerryc haha it's nice to be surprised by a band sometimes like Haim did for me, maybe you will be by someone else!
