Their meteoric rise to music superstardom all began 10 years ago with the release of their debut studio album, Days Are Gone. At the time, the sisters couldn’t have been more off of the radar. After being told they would never make it for years, they finally had an album.

“We had zero expectations,” Este told NME, adding, “The only thing that we knew was that we were super proud of what we had finally created after being a band for six years at that point. We had finally gotten a recording that we loved, and we were like, ‘Cool, we have this. What do you do with it?’ So we put it on the internet with absolutely no idea what was going to happen. And it completely changed our lives.”

Once it landed online, Days Are Gone proved to be an album that answered all of our 2013 prayers. Somehow, it musically embodied the zeitgeist (for twenty-something girls, anyway). It was an era of Urban Outfitters, New Girl, Tumblr aesthetics and American Apparel skater skirts, and Haim’s explosive debut, alongside the likes of Lorde’s Pure Heroine and Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die, was the perfect soundtrack.

Haim’s Days Are Gone turns 10: the Tumblr-era classic remains as relevant as ever, while the Haim sisters are still the coolest girls around
