The following albums dropped today and are available in your local trendy record stores or on digital download.
One quick side note before I begin… I know get a few giggles and rolled eyeballs every time I proclaim that HAIM is the process of taking over the world. Well look who’s at NUMBER 1 on the U.K. album chart…HAIM. The ladies outsold Justin Timberlake (yeah I just said Justin Timberlake on this blog) by 2,100 copies. Finishing third was some guilty pleasure band named Kings Of Leon. Well there you go.
