Everyone Are Invited to Join as the Additional Haim Sisters Sister.

"Do you know when you'll be chatting with Haim?" a message pops up. "My request was to ask if I can be their newest bandmate."

There's just a single issue: The author likewise longs to be the Haims' additional sibling. Furthermore, we are not alone. A host of high-profile fans have openly coveted the honor.

It's clear an irresistible appeal is at play. The siblings Este, Danielle and Alana launched their musical journey doing sets at neighborhood delis with their parents. Today, they are repeated Grammy nominees.

In the tradition of the most iconic ensembles, they're a inseparable gang. Their visuals repeatedly show them walking in sync down the avenues of Los Angeles. In concert, they play with such pure joy you find yourself thinking, "I'd love to be involved in that, too."

"How often on tour that young girls came up to us and said, 'After your show, I picked up a guitar'," remarks Alana, the most junior of the trio. "That's the ultimate compliment. That's an award in itself. We've done our job if we can encourage others to make music."

"So all are welcome to be the next Haim sister."

Historic Nod

The trio are speaking from home, where they're recovering after an lengthy tour in promoting their new album, I Quit.

They're right now processing the news it's been nominated for best rock album at the Grammy Awards – with Haim the first all-female band ever in contention for the award.

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

The significance of the accolade resonates with the trio.

"We deliberately set out to make a guitar-driven album this time, so it's a significant step," continues Alana. "However we're just grateful for the pioneers that inspired us."

Heartbreak and Candor

The project emerged from a period of personal change. All three sisters ended up single, and the music explores that unique transitional period where you're happy to be free, but not entirely ready to start anew.

The words track breakups and farewells. The sisters want love, but not the relationships they've had. You can hear them determining in real life who they aspire to be.

"I love way of putting it, yes," says Danielle. "I Quit is kind of like a mantra. You have to make an effort in blocking the noise and saying, 'I don't give what people think'."

Development of Music

That newfound toughness demanded a fresh approach – more organic and direct than any of the music the band had done before.

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

"Percussion is such a detailed thing, and I focus so intensely about it," she emphasizes.

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the subject of our book," jokes Alana. "I always say, our albums cannot begin until we find the ideal drum sound."

Anecdotes and Shared Laughter

The band's honesty inspired the album's promotional campaign, where the sisters shared some of their personal horror stories.

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

"Experiencing these setbacks, you just feel like there's only darkness," explains Alana. "Therefore to be able to share those stories and have them tell you more outrageous stories, it's so amazing."

A Confident Legacy

It's not difficult sense a change in the band. Now, Haim are more assured of their standing in the music world.

They're top-billed acts, with chart-topping albums and an worldwide fan base.

But Haim will consistently be their top commitment.

"Me and my siblings have been playing music since I was little," shares Alana. "There is no other path that we were destined for. And I'm really grateful we've made it and we're still making music."
