The fourth (or third, depending on if you count the Forever EP) single from BBC's Sound of 2013, Haim, is called "The Wire". It's slightly different to the previous two singles but is still very much in line with their sound.

 

It's taken from their début album which is out on the same day (according to Amazon). Hopefully they can finally achieve a high-peaking single after two relative disappointments with "Don't Save Me" and "Falling".

The live version was much better. All the energy has been sucked out of it.

I will never understand why people like Haim. They are atrocious.

*AHEM* >:(

 

Definitely liking this loads, of course. The older version is easily as good, if not better, though:

 

 

 

Their music just sounds like something out of Little House on the Prairie :(

It sounds like a Cyndi Lauper B-Side.

 

Although I do like it. I think it could grow on me.

Hopefully this is a grower like the rest of their stuff.

I love them, but they all remind me of Meg from Family Guy.

I feel dirty for finding this so catchy. I caught it on the radio yesterday and it has been creeping around my brain since then.

Can't believe that.

 

I was just about to post the same thing....

 

My second favourite HAIM song after Falling.

I love the artwork and I'm really looking forward to hearing this (despite already having 5 of the songs!)

"The Wire" is the pre order track on US iTunes, so it's out there already

The Wire is a lil disappointing compared to everything else they've put out (taking the throwback sound a bit tooo far) but im still so hyped for this album!

I question the intelligence of putting "Falling" and "Forever" back to back but this should be great.

The album has leaked and its the album of the year already.

Listening to this and I'm REALLY impressed so far (only 2 tracks in!). I heard some of their stuff before but they never stood out at all.

 

'Falling' is gorgeous and 'Forever' is really really good.

OK, this is kinda incredible. Falling is fast moving up to be one of the best tracks of the year and the rest of the album is of similar quality. Definitely a great debut.

I really really cannot stand them

 

'Falling' is one of the worst sibgs of the year to these ears

If I Could Change Your Mind is easily the highlight. This is a great album though - I'm loving My Song 5 as well.
