We could pick something off the wall and write about it. He wrote about LA’s Angel’s Flight in Ask The Dust. HAIM: All three of us are big into Bukowski and Fante, who was one of Bukowski’s biggest influences. STEREOGUM: Which books influenced your album? The album is partly personal, but when we were writing songs we used our experiences and our friends’ experience and the things we read about in books. STEREOGUM: Speaking of relationships, how many bad breakups went into making the album? HAIM: We’re living in a hypothetical world. STEREOGUM: But they’re all taken, that’s why they’re on Basketball Wives! If we’re talking about dating from reality shows I would probably go for the guys on Basketball Wives. I want to date a guy who is at least five or six inches taller than me and I’m six feet tall. I’m probably a foot taller than all of them. STEREOGUM: Would you date any of the guys on Million Dollar Listing? But if all else fails, there’s still that. I got my license, but I never got to use my license. I wanted to sell real estate on Million Dollar Listing on the Bravo Network. HAIM: When I turned 18 I got my real estate license. They encouraged us to play but the whole time we were in the music room playing they wanted to make sure we had a back-up plan. Throughout our childhood my parents were really passionate about all of us having a back-up plan. When I went to college my parents were really excited. HAIM: Here’s the thing: if I was a science teacher at a school my parents would be proud of me. STEREOGUM: Speaking of which, how are your parents dealing with your newfound fame? It’s a risk but one we’re willing to take.

Still, it’s like having a baby and putting them on TV and having people criticize it. You only put out your first record once! But we’re really proud of it and we worked really hard on it. HAIM: We’re really excited but would be lying if we weren’t a little stressed about it.
STEREOGUM: You generated a lot of buzz last summer with “Forever” and now you’re finally putting out your first album. I wanted to do it and I just sort of blacked out and just jumped and it was the best feeling and only afterwards did I realize that I did it in a dress. I was always too scared to do it and never did it before this summer. We consider ourselves kind of a live band. We got to work with some amazing producers, though, and they really taught me that being in the studio can be fun.īut I really love playing live. I didn’t know how fun it could be until we started working on it. I don’t like the repetition and the re-recording. Before we went into the studio, I was very vocal about how much I don’t like the studio. HAIM: I really love playing live, but making this record taught me that making records can actually be fun. Do you think your live energy is captured on the album? STEREOGUM: I caught your set at Oslo’s Øya Festival and you put on an incredibly fun live show. This was really the best summer of my life. We’ve always wanted to travel and see the world together and we’re getting to do that and it’s been incredible.
We love playing festivals, but we’re also having fun. I went to a festival that had a tent that was all candy … rows and rows of candy. HAIM: A good festival means good food, good people and, really, I like quirky. STEREOGUM: You hit the festival circuit pretty hard this summer.
We talked to Este Haim about the new album, stagediving in a dress, and her plans to sell real estate if this whole rock n’ roll thing doesn’t work out. The 11 tracks on the album, which includes last summer’s buzzy sun-kissed hit “Forever” along with the “ Falling” and “ The Wire,” captures the band’s ability to make irresistible pop songs with serious hooks and percussion that is hard to not dance to. They are rectifying that when their debut LP, Days Are Gone, comes out on September 30 via Columbia Records. All this before they ever put out an album. After we named HAIM a Band To Watch last year, they’ve been featured on dozens of Best Of lists, won the BBC’s Sound Of 2013 award, and earned enviable opening slots on tours with Phoenix, Florence And The Machine, Mumford And Sons, and Vampire Weekend.
