The World is Invited to Be the Additional Haim Member.

"When are you interviewing Haim?" an inquiry pops up. "I was hoping to ask if I can become their newest bandmate."

However, there remains a key snag: The sender also wants to be the Haims' additional sibling. What's more, we are far from alone. Multiple celebrated supporters have openly petitioned for the honor.

One thing is obvious an irresistible appeal is going on. Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana began their musical journey playing gigs at local delicatessens with their parents. Now they're repeated Grammy hopefuls.

Similar to the most iconic ensembles, they're a tight-knit trio. Their music videos often show them striding in harmony down the roads of Los Angeles. In concert, they perform with such unfettered exuberance you find yourself thinking, "I wish to be involved in that, too."

"The numerous instances on tour that audience members came up to us and said, 'After your show, I bought a guitar'," states Alana, the youngest of the trio. "That is the ultimate compliment. That's an award in itself. We've done our job if we can encourage young girls to form a group."

"Therefore everyone is invited to be the next part of the family."

Grammy Recognition

The trio have called into home, where they're taking a pause after an lengthy tour in support of their fourth album, I Quit.

They're presently celebrating the news it's been shortlisted for Best Rock Album at the Grammy Awards – with Haim the first all-woman band ever in consideration for the award.

"I watch the lists every year, so it sort of feels like an out-of-body experience when your name is read out," says Alana. "I needed to phone my sisters to say, 'Did we just hear this correctly or am I dreaming'?"

The significance of the nomination resonates with the sisters.

"We deliberately set out to make a rock album this time, so it's a significant achievement," says Alana. "But we're just thankful for the pioneers that came before us."

Emotional Upheaval and Candor

The album emerged from a period of emotional upheaval. All three sisters found themselves single, and the music captures that unique in-between place where you're happy to be free, but not yet ready to move on.

The themes detail breakups and farewells. The sisters want love, but not the kind of love they've had. You can hear them determining in real life who they are becoming.

"I adore way of putting it, yes," agrees Danielle. "I Quit is essentially a personal statement. You have to consciously practice blocking the criticism and saying, 'I couldn't care less what people think'."

Evolution of Music

That developed resilience called for a different sonic direction – more unpolished and immediate than any of the music the band had done before.

For Danielle, who co-produced the album, that was founded on the percussion.

"Drums are such a detailed thing, and I focus so intensely about it," she states.

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the subject of our book," jokes Alana. "Our motto is, our albums won't commence until we find the perfect drum sound."

Stories and Shared Laughter

The trio's candor fueled the album's rollout, where the sisters revealed some of their dating misadventures.

A former partner left Este over a medical consideration. Alana recalled a story of travelling to spend New Year's Eve with someone, only to receive a casual gesture at midnight.

"During these heartbreaks, you just feel like there's no light," explains Alana. "Therefore to be able to share those stories and have them tell you more outrageous stories, it's incredible."

A Confident Future

You can clearly sense a evolution in the band. These days, Haim are more certain of their position in the industry.

They're major draws, with successful albums and an international fan base.

But Haim will always be their top focus.

"We have been performing since I was a young child," concludes Alana. "There is no alternative that we were destined for. And I'm really thankful we've made it and we're still making music."
