All Fans is Invited to Join as the Additional Haim Sisters Member.

"Do you know when you'll be chatting with the Haim sisters?" a message pops up. "My request was to ask if I can become their extra sister."

There's just a single issue: The sender also longs to be Haim's newest recruit. And we're not alone. Multiple high-profile supporters have publicly coveted the honor.

One thing is obvious something is going on. The siblings Este, Danielle and Alana started their path performing shows at local delicatessens with their family. Now they're multiple Grammy Award contenders.

Similar to the most iconic groups, they're a inseparable unit. Their visuals often depict them striding in harmony down the avenues of Los Angeles. On stage, they perform with such boundless exuberance you find yourself thinking, "I'd love to be part of that, too."

"The amount of times on tour that young girls told us and said, 'Seeing you perform, I bought a bass'," states Alana, the youngest of the Haim siblings. "It is the greatest honor. That is recognition in itself. We have succeeded if we can inspire others to form a group."

"Therefore everyone is invited to be the honorary Haim sister."

Award Recognition

The band are connecting from a break, where they're taking a pause after an major tour in for their new album, I Quit.

They're presently processing the news it's been in the running for Best Rock Album at the Grammy Awards – with Haim the very first female band ever in consideration for the award.

"I tune into the announcements every year, so it sort of feels like a surreal movie when your name is announced," notes Alana. "I needed to phone my sisters to say, 'Did we just hear this right or am I imagining things'?"

The weight of the honor is deeply felt by the band.

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

Emotional Upheaval and Laughter

The record emerged from a time of personal change. All three sisters ended up single, and the music inhabits that odd in-between place where you're happy to be free, but not quite ready to start anew.

The words follow breakups and goodbyes. The sisters desire love, but not the relationships they've had. You can hear them determining in the moment who they aspire to be.

"I love summary, yes," responds Danielle. "I Quit is kind of like a personal statement. You have to make an effort in blocking the outside opinions and saying, 'I couldn't care less what people think'."

Evolution of Sound

That newfound toughness called for a fresh approach – more raw and powerful than anything the band had done before.

For Danielle, who co-produced the album, that began with the percussion.

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

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the title of our biography," quips Alana. "I always say, our albums won't commence until we find the perfect drum sound."

Anecdotes and Shared Camaraderie

The trio's candor fueled the album's marketing, where the sisters shared some of their personal horror stories.

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

"During these setbacks, you just feel like there's no light," explains Alana. "Thus to be able to share those stories and have them tell you wilder stories, it's therapeutic."

A Confident Legacy

One can easily sense a shift in the band. Now, Haim are more assured of their place in the rock pantheon.

They're top-billed acts, with hit albums and an international following.

Yet the band will consistently be their top priority.

"We have been performing since I was little," says Alana. "It's like no alternative that we were destined for. And I'm really grateful we've made it and we're still kicking."
