The sister rock trio, Haim, has released their debut album, “The Days Are Gone,” on Sept. 30.

After their first downloadable EP, which was free for the public on their website and gained them notoriety, their full length has become highly anticipated.

Days Are Gone kicks off with the 80s inspired love anthem, “Falling,” a song that was originally released as part of the aforementioned EP. The classic rock vibe fueled “Forever” is next on the record; this song, as well, is not new to Haim’s fans.

The third track “The Wire” is the band’s first single off the album; it’s as heavy as rock and roll can get in a low key and unassuming nature. It’s a strong song featuring vocals from all three sisters, Danielle, Este and Alana. It’s edgy in it’s own right and definitely has a bass line that makes it satisfying to rock out to.

“If I Could Change Your Mind” is the album’s first fresh track, a ballad with soft vocals. It sounds like something you’d hear watching a John Hughes film, filled with lost love and synthesizers.

“Honey & I” is an interesting sound from the band. It’s a little bit more folky influenced and almost sounds like a country song with its lyrics. Danielle croons repeatedly “My honey and I” along with the line “Love isn’t what I thought it once was.” It’s a welcome change and shows the multiple sources of influence Haim have for their unique style.

Next is another familiar tune with “Don’t Save Me,” a previously released decade transcending modern take on big beats and keyboard melodies. This song has solid lyrics and the title line “Baby, don’t save me, no, if your love isn’t strong” is how I see these three women taking on the world.

Flagship track “Days Are Gone” is the best on the album, impacting and different. It’s off kilter drum line creates an interesting and unexpected quality. The song breaks down and features a chant like echo of the title and it’s a perfect balance to it’s all over the place beat.

Speaking of beats, the next track starts off with a heavy one while accompanied by a dismal singsong voice. “My Song 5” breaks into a guitar riff unheard of on any song on the album thus far, it’s a powerful and makes the line “Honey I’m not your honey pie” sound like a battle cry.

“Go Slow” is another ballad featuring sounds very much along the same previously heard tracks. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s a very relaxing and pleasant song of a deteriorating relationship.

The album picks up again with “Let Me Go” which begins with a single guitar note and vocals that accelerate into a drum line that emphasizes the urgency at which these lyrics are being sung. Primal in its honesty featuring a guitar riff layered along with the repeated track title lyric “let me go.” It ends almost too soon.

Last song on the album, “Running if You Call My Name”, is the perfect embodiment of Haim’s unassuming rock songs that through lyrics and bass lines evoke feelings unlike any modern artist I’ve seen so far.

Their indie-rock sound isn’t pretentious or overdone, it’s exactly what is needed from them. There’s no song on this album that feels out of place or unlike the band, they’ve got their signature style to themselves.

This album is solid and was well worth the time waited for the full length. I recommend this to anyone who loves a great rock sound and has an affinity for 80’s music made for the modern era.
