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

"Do you know when you'll be interviewing the Haim sisters?" an inquiry reads. "I was hoping to ask if I can join as their fourth member."

There is only one problem: The sender also wants to be Haim's additional sibling. Furthermore, we are not alone. Multiple famous admirers have publicly begged for the role.

One thing is obvious an irresistible appeal is going on. The siblings Este, Danielle and Alana began their musical journey playing gigs at neighborhood delis with their parents. Now they're multiple Grammy contenders.

Similar to the greatest bands, they're a close unit. Their music videos repeatedly feature them walking in sync down the streets of Los Angeles. On stage, they play with such unfettered exuberance you inevitably think, "I'd love to be involved in that, too."

"The numerous instances on tour that fans approached us and said, 'Watching you live, I bought a guitar'," says Alana, the youngest of the sisters. "It is the biggest honor. That is recognition in itself. We've done our job if we can motivate people to form a group."

"Therefore everyone are welcome to be the fourth part of the family."

Award Nod

The group are connecting from their homes, where they're taking a pause after an lengthy tour in promoting their new album, I Quit.

They're currently celebrating the news it's been shortlisted for a top rock honor at the Grammy Awards – with Haim the very first all-woman band ever in consideration for the award.

"I watch the nominations every year, so it sort of feels like The Truman Show when your name is called," says Alana. "I had to call my sisters to say, 'Did we just hear this right or am I dreaming'?"

The importance of the accolade isn't lost on the trio.

"We deliberately set out to make a guitar-driven album this time, so it's a major milestone," adds Alana. "Yet we're just appreciative for the female artists that inspired us."

Heartbreak and Humour

The project came out of a period of personal change. All three sisters found themselves single, and the music explores that odd liminal space where you're happy to be free, but not entirely ready to let go.

The lyrics track departures and partings. The sisters seek love, but not the kind of love they've experienced. You can hear them determining in the moment who they aspire to be.

"I love summary, yes," responds Danielle. "I Quit is like a personal statement. You have to make an effort in blocking the criticism and saying, 'It doesn't matter to me what people think'."

Evolution of Style

That developed resilience demanded a different sonic direction – more unpolished and direct than anything the band had done before.

For Danielle, who co-produced the album, that started with the drums.

"The drum sound is such a detailed thing, and I care so much about it," she emphasizes.

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the subject of our book," laughs Alana. "I've said it, our albums don't start until we find the ideal drum sound."

Stories and Collective Camaraderie

The trio's openness fueled the album's rollout, where the sisters revealed some of their romantic tales.

Someone left Este over a medical concern. Alana shared a story of flying to celebrate New Year's Eve with someone, only to receive a high five at midnight.

"When you're going through these breakups, you just feel like there's no hope," says Alana. "Therefore to be able to find humor in those stories and have them tell you more outrageous stories, it's so amazing."

A Confident Legacy

You can clearly sense a evolution in the band. Now, Haim are more assured of their standing in the rock pantheon.

They're major draws, with successful albums and an worldwide following.

But the sister act will always be their number one priority.

"My sisters and I have been making music since I was little," says Alana. "There is nothing else that we were destined for. And I'm really grateful we've made it and we're still going strong."
