All Fans is Invited to Become the Extra Haim Sisters Sister.

"When are you interviewing the Haim sisters?" a message pops up. "I was hoping to ask if I can become their newest bandmate."

However, there remains a single issue: The sender also desires to be Haim's additional sibling. And we're in plentiful company. Multiple celebrated admirers have also petitioned for the position.

The evidence suggests a special quality is happening. Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana started their musical journey playing gigs at local delicatessens with their parents. Today, they are multi-time Grammy hopefuls.

Similar to the best groups, they're a close trio. Their visuals repeatedly feature them marching in harmony down the avenues of Los Angeles. On stage, they perform with such boundless joy you find yourself thinking, "I want to be part of that, too."

"The numerous instances on tour that young girls came up to us and said, 'Seeing you perform, I picked up a guitar'," says Alana, the youngest of the Haim siblings. "That's the biggest honor. That is recognition in itself. We have succeeded if we can encourage others to start a band."

"So all gets an invitation to be the next part of the family."

Award Recognition

The trio have called into their homes, where they're resting up after an extensive tour in support of their latest album, I Quit.

They're presently celebrating the news it's been in the running for Best Rock Album at the Grammys – with Haim the pioneering all-woman band ever in consideration for the prize.

"I tune into the lists every year, so it kind of feels like an out-of-body experience when your name is read out," says Alana. "I had to call my sisters to say, 'Did we just hear this correctly or am I imagining things'?"

The weight of the nomination isn't lost on the sisters.

"We deliberately set out to make a rock record this time, so it's a huge milestone," continues Alana. "However we're just grateful for the female artists that inspired us."

Heartbreak and Candor

The album was born from a time of personal change. All three sisters were single, and the music captures that odd liminal space where you're glad to be free, but not quite ready to let go.

The lyrics track departures and farewells. The sisters desire love, but not the kind of love they've had. You can hear them determining in real time who they want to be.

"I love way of putting it, yes," says Danielle. "I Quit is kind of like a mantra. You have to consciously practice ignoring the outside opinions and saying, 'I don't give what people think'."

Evolution of Style

That newfound resilience demanded a new sound – more raw and powerful than anything the band had done before.

For Danielle, who worked on producing the album, that began with the drum sound.

"The drum sound is such a nuanced thing, and I am so passionate about it," she states.

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the title of our biography," jokes Alana. "Our motto is, our albums cannot begin until we find the ideal drum sound."

Anecdotes and Shared Laughter

The band's honesty shaped the album's rollout, where the sisters shared some of their dating tales.

A former partner left Este over a health concern. Alana shared a story of travelling to celebrate New Year's Eve with someone, only to receive a high five 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 even crazier stories, it's incredible."

An Assured Legacy

One can easily sense a change in the band. Now, Haim are more confident of their position in the music world.

They're festival headliners, with successful albums and an worldwide following.

However Haim will forever be their top commitment.

"We have been making music since I was four," concludes Alana. "It feels as if no alternative that we were meant to do. And I'm really thankful we've reached this point and we're still kicking."
