Haim: I Quit [Columbia]
After going supernova with Women in Music Pt. III, Haim continue their mission to create their own universe of California rock with I Quit. The sister trio streamlines its sun-spangled pop sensibilities for an album, says Anna Gaca in Pitchfork’s review, that “advertises its credentials as American rock’n’roll, quoting Abraham Lincoln and Bruce Springsteen in opener ‘Gone,’ exploring acoustic folk with fresh attention on soon-to-be-underappreciated hits like ‘Love You Right’ and ‘Blood on the Street,’ and inviting co-producer Rostam Batmanglij’s love of vintage acoustic texture, breakbeats, and left-field sound design into a combination of influences that sometimes goes a little haywire.”
