HAIM - When We Were Young (2016)

Haim comprise three sisters - Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim - who first came to my attention in 2012, when they posted a couple of songs on Youtube. These were indie/pop of the highest order, and so over the next few months I kept an eye out for more, and an album finally surfaced in 2013.
A new album is scheduled for a summer release, but as a stop-gap I realised that I still had 12 unreleased tracks stashed away on the hard-drive. These songs were recorded 'when they were young', so that seems an apt title, and as well as unreleased originals, there are some tasty covers ('Oh Well' is stunning live, as they rock much harder in a live setting), and an extended acoustic version of one of the album tracks.

As these are all ripped from Youtube then they are only in 192, but I hope the quality of the songs shines through, and if you are as smitten by them as I was, then check out the album, as it was one of the best of that year.
