Review
There’s a charged exhale in I Quit—HAIM’s fourth studio album lands not as a retreat but as a send-off for what’s done and an open take on what comes next. The Los Angeles sister-trio lean into rock, funk, and trembling heart-pop with the kind of confidence that only time together can bring.
Musically, the album glides between live-guitar grit, moody basslines, and vintage rock flourishes; tracks like “Relationships” and “Down to Be Wrong” tilt into full throat-belt territory, while songs such as “Take Me Back” and “Love You Right” embrace softer, liminal moments. They’ve moved on from their earlier polish and are instead chasing texture, feeling, and bite. Lyrically, the theme of quitting isn’t about surrender—it’s about shedding the weight of what no longer fits, and finding freedom in the space left behind.
There are heavy moments—some arrangements feel stretched, some transitions rough—yet those imperfections add to the record’s humanity. I Quit isn’t about perfection; it’s about truth. It’s HAIM at a crossroads and choosing forward motion with their eyes wide open. - Clara
