Haim haven’t thrown in the towel just yet, with the trio dropping a deluxe edition of their latest album, I Quit, featuring three new songs.
The group teased the expanded LP last week with the release of “Tie You Down,” a new collaboration with Bon Iver. One of the other songs is “The Story Of Us,” an uptempo alt-rocker punctuated by a fuzz-bomb chorus: “You hate that you love me/You hate that you want me back/I hate that I love you/But, baby, it got too sad.”
The last song the deluxe edition, “Even the Bad Times,” boasts a similarly frenetic energy, though there’s an uneasy edge to its ringing guitars as Danielle Haim sings, “Every time that we try/I know it’s not right, baby/I fight with you like you are a child/I feel like a fool/I could leave like I should, baby/But I can’t help it, even the bad times were good.”
Haim released I Quit back in June, with the album marking their fourth studio effort and first in five years, following 2020’s Women in Music Pt. III. Danielle Haim co-produced the album with frequent collaborator Rostam Batmanglij.
The trio just wrapped a North American tour in support of I Quit, and they’re set to kick off a U.K. run later this month. Earlier this week, Haim stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where they performed “Down to Be Wrong.”
Speaking with Rolling Stone earlier this year — over some homemade vodka cocktails — Haim dug into the creation of I Quit, the clever paparazzi-inspired marketing behind the album, and how a famous scene in That Thing You Do inspired the album’s title. The trio also discussed their friendship with Stevie Nicks, who’d recently revealed that she was working on a song with Haim.
“There’s a lot of things to come that we’re very excited about,” Alana said of their work with Nicks, before noting the Fleetwood Mac singer also gifted them a shawl. “That is framed, no one is touching that shawl — that is a blessed shawl,” Alana quipped.
