Musically, the multiplatinum GRAMMY® Award-nominated trio of Southern California sisters Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim trace a winding path through genres and musical eras—similar to how Ventura Boulevard paves its way through a myriad of Los Angeles suburbs and neighborhoods. Since 2012, the group have made a mark on their own terms with eclectic songcraft in the studio and electrifying performances on stages worldwide. Garnering four career GRAMMY® nominations to date, they stand out as “the first all-female rock group to be nominated in the GRAMMY® category of ‘Album of the Year’” for 2020’s Women In Music Pt. III. The latter represented a critical high watermark. Not only did it land on multiple year-end Top 10 lists, but Pitchfork hailed it as “far and away their best.” Prior, they released the gold-certified Days Are Gone [2013] and Something To Tell You [2017]. Over the course of a decade, they have also notched two #1 debuts on the UK Albums Chart and two Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200. On their fourth LP, Haim grow individually as women and collectively as a band, documenting a period of self-exploration, celebrating the moment, and reaching a point of empowerment. As such, the album is the sound of three sisters jamming together on their instruments with confidence, looking back on their journey with clarity, and laughing loudly without being afraid to cry a little in between.
