As they look back on their most self-assured work so far, HAIM note that the creation of I QUIT profoundly altered their self-perception. “Making this album and feeling so uninhibited and independent really helped me to recognize my own resilience,” says Danielle. “It’s been an eye-opening couple of years, and I think the music speaks to that.” And as they launch into the next chapter of a musical journey begun back in 2007, the Haim sisters feel a radically heightened sense
of courage and confidence. “One of the big themes of this album is quitting the fear of the future, because that fear can hold you back from living life,” says Alana. “It takes a lot of guts and a lot of power to move on from something in the hopes that the next thing will be worth it. There’s always the risk of falling on your face, but you have to bet on yourself and trust that whatever choices you
make will be fruitful in the end. And in that sense, it’s all a great adventure."
