Fresh from their big headline show at All Points East festival - HAIM brought another special performance to London this week to celebrate ten years of their debut album ‘Days Are Gone’.
Despite being the LA trio’s debut, the release of ‘Days Are Gone’ was keenly anticipated back in September 2013. Haim arrived as the perfect package with their forward-thinking take on classic rock and pop. A run of thrilling singles in the run-up to the album had the hype machine in overload but rather than feel the pressure, Haim emerged with a record that was as breezy as their sun-drenched melodies. Spawning six singles in Forever, Don’t Save Me, Falling, The Wire, My Song 5 and If I Could Change Your Mind, songs now so irresistibly familiar they feel like they’ve been around a lot longer, ‘Days Are Gone’ was both critically acclaimed and a huge hit, going to Number One in the UK Charts and Top 6 in the Billboard 200, and remains a highly influential album to this day.
