HAIM also unfurl swashes of vintage ‘80s/‘90s pop (“Nothing\'s Wrong” and “You Never Knew”) and confessional showstoppers (“Night So Long”) that, when combined with their crush-note lyrics, consistently hit the sweet spot.
Haim’s glossy second album is slyly complex. The California sisters remain masters of rhythm and create spacious, hook-filled pop-rock full of heartbreak, longing, and betrayal.

Simple and carefree, while being unmistakably polished, Haim's second album is a treat.
