So I went to see Haim in The Olympia last night. They were
top class. It’s so odd, how their album Days
Are Gone sounds so tame, sanitised, over-produced and commodified, yet live
they are tight as anything, smoking and edgy. All the songs, bar none, sound
ten times better live, much punchier. If I were a record producer, I would just
go straight out and record them in concert. My advice to anyone who’s
interested is to hunt down a good quality bootleg of these three sisters
(apologies to Chekhov) wigging out on stage, in preference to the too clean Days Are Gone studio versions.
Maybe this might help:
One question: why doesn’t middle sister Danielle, who occupies
centre stage and does most of the singing and guitar solos, ever speak? It’s
always the quiet ones…
