The World is Welcome to Be the Fourth Haim Member.

"When are you speaking to Haim?" a message reads. "I wanted to ask if I can join as their extra sister."

There is only one problem: The sender also desires to be Haim's fourth member. What's more, we are far from alone. A host of celebrated fans have openly begged for the position.

One thing is obvious an irresistible appeal is happening. Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana launched their musical journey doing sets at local delicatessens with their parents. Today, they are multi-time Grammy Award nominees.

In the tradition of the best bands, they're a inseparable gang. Their music videos repeatedly feature them striding in sync down the roads of Los Angeles. On stage, they perform with such pure joy you inevitably think, "I want to be part of that, too."

"The numerous instances on tour that young girls approached us and said, 'Watching you live, I picked up a guitar'," remarks Alana, the most junior of the Haim siblings. "That is the biggest compliment. That's an award in itself. We have succeeded if we can motivate young girls to form a group."

"And thus everyone are welcome to be the next Haim sister."

Grammy Recognition

The group are connecting from their homes, where they're taking a pause after an major tour in for their latest album, I Quit.

They're presently reeling from the news it's been in the running for a top rock honor at the Grammys – with Haim the first all-woman band ever in contention for the award.

"I tune into the nominations every year, so it sort of feels like The Truman Show when your name is read out," says Alana. "I needed to phone my sisters to say, 'Did we just hear this right or am I dreaming'?"

The weight of the nomination isn't lost on the trio.

"We really set out to make a rock album this time, so it's a major milestone," adds Alana. "Yet we're just thankful for the women that paved the way."

Heartbreak and Laughter

The project came out of a phase of emotional upheaval. All three sisters were single, and the music captures that odd liminal space where you're relieved to be free, but not yet ready to start anew.

The lyrics follow endings and partings. The sisters desire love, but not the kind of love they've got. You can hear them working out in real time who they are becoming.

"I adore description, yes," responds Danielle. "I Quit is kind of like a mantra. You have to make an effort in ignoring the outside opinions and saying, 'I couldn't care less what people think'."

Evolution of Sound

That recent confidence demanded a new sound – more unpolished and immediate than anything the band had done before.

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

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

"'Journey of the drum sound' will be the subject of our biography," quips Alana. "Our motto is, our albums won't commence until we find the perfect drum sound."

Experiences and Shared Humor

The trio's openness shaped the album's marketing, where the sisters shared some of their romantic tales.

A former partner left Este over a medical consideration. Alana told a story of flying to celebrate New Year's Eve with someone, only to receive a casual gesture at midnight.

"Experiencing these heartbreaks, you just feel like there's only darkness," explains Alana. "So to be able to find humor in those stories and hear others tell you more outrageous stories, it's therapeutic."

An Assured Future

It's not difficult sense a change in the band. These days, Haim are more confident of their place in the rock pantheon.

They're festival headliners, with successful albums and an global fan base.

However the sister act will forever be their number one commitment.

"Me and my siblings have been playing music since I was a young child," shares Alana. "It feels as if nothing else that we were supposed to do. And I'm really thankful we've made it and we're still kicking."
