Haim: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
June 17, 2020 | Cyrena Touros -- Strung aloft the breezy sax melody of "Summer Girl" is the reminder that California is a state of mind. At least it was at one point. For Este, Danielle and Alana Haim, California is also a more permanent state of residence these days. All three sisters are back home in Los Angeles while self-quarantining, where each recorded their part for HAIM's Tiny Desk (home) concert in their separate Silver Lake residences.
But California is also a sound HAIM brings wherever it goes, even as the band explores new terrain on its cheekily titled upcoming album, Women in Music Pt. III. The sunny, take-no-prisoners assertion of independence of "The Steps" recalls the soft rock jams of 2013's Days Are Gone and 2017's Something to Tell You, but the muted techno glimmer of "I Know Alone" is new, as is the moodiness of "Summer Girl," a song that wavers like a heat mirage reflected off New York's summer sidewalks, thanks to Henry Solomon's whisper-toned sax.
HAIM recorded its Tiny Desk set before the death of George Floyd, and released "Summer Girl" last year. The world has changed a lot in that time. With its opening line - "LA on my mind, I can't breathe" - "Summer Girl" becomes another piece of music that takes on a parallel meaning in the evolving social and political landscape of 2020.

Emily Heath I actually think they are all together at the moment. You know they’ve been doing these zoom dance classes for a few weekends before the protests started and more will take place I imagine when it seems right again. Plus they did that last film clip that from what I read they filmed at their parents place. Not sure of that’s true but they certainly were all together. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s fun speculating!

(Feb. 2022 comment.) Ha ha ha! Daniel’s voice though always seems to come through with these two, even when they’re doing almost all of the talking in interviews. I don’t get it. Such an interesting dynamic with them. And she’s a such a genuine emotive rock star singer, musician and performer on stage - a natural rock lightening rod. Such a wonderful life force they each have, individually and together - on stage and in interviews. I can’t wait to see Licorice Pizza, seeing the whole family together in scene(s). I hope the film [and Alana’s future films ;)] bring more and more people to vibe to this naturally feminist art and artists. So rare in our world - regardless of country or time period. 💎💎💎

The day after the Beatles were on Sullivan, a crazy big wave of cultural change blasted off inspiring teenage boys to learn to play guitar, bass, drums, keys. Haim, Taylor, Gaga, Miley, Bey and all who are known by one name are bringing an energy many, many times more intense. These artists are bringing much more emotion to their songs. Sixties rock still rocks, but it's not nearly as focused as this is. Do what you can to fan this flame.
