This album the perfect addition your music library whether it includes Taylor swift and Katy perry or Taylor Dane and Joan Jett. A fish out of water with the music of today and new kid who just so happens to fit into the niche of the 80’s era. The use of keyboard synths and bass rifts perfectly exemplies the music played during the days of the popular music video and MTV. These young women, not your honey pies, are true artifices of a genre where many bands got their start in homes with a Christmas or birthday gift of a guitar or keyboard with a hankering to create.
With tracks orchestrated by the three sister of Haim, their sound maintains an adhesive correctness throughout the album. The tone never waivers and each track is consistent to the genre of music they inherently or deliberately attempted to emulate. The journey I took with this album was a refreshing flashback to a time where adrogony was culturally accepted and mimicked by the masses. Prince and Bowie ruled the airwaves and white suits with neon undershirts adorned club-rats. I was an adolscent listening to Thiller on repeat while fast-forwarding past the creepy voice of Vincient Price and that all so memorable haa-ha-ha-hahahahahaha.
Days Are Gone… damn right they are. We live only to put the last day behind us. For those of you old enough to remember life in the eighties, this album will take you back to that unforgettable era of music. And for you young ones listen and learn. Music is more than shakin’ dat azz and more about shaking your ass to the music of one kick ass rock band.
