Haim - Falling


And so Haim continue to grow from strength-to-strength.  Their ubiquitous sound has been cemented by the success of Don't Save Me, continuing with Falling.  Evidently, the 'Sound of...' accolade has been richly deserved.

Funky and cool, Falling perfectly reflects their R&B and rock influences.  It's got everything you could want from a Haim track.  When played live, meanwhile, the track takes on a new lease of life.  The guitar lines roar with extra bite; the bassline is funkier; the live drumming is more dynamic; and the synth glue that holds it all together is more prominent.  The girls from LA can seemingly do no wrong.

The full EP of Falling will be released on April 1st (though it's basically a single with remixes).  

Screw that, just release a full album already...

4/5

Listen: The single of Falling is available now, with the EP released on April 1st.
