Your notion of pop-rock may derive from American manufactured products like The Monkees and The Archies, or from British acts like T-Rex and The Sweet, from whom HAIM probably extracted the thumping beat of "The Wire." I'd suggest that these Southern California sisters are tapping into that geographical area for precedents - anything from the '60s harmonies of The Mamas and the Papas to the '80s pop-punk of The Bangles. Not that questions of being musical lightweights are going to be resolved for some listeners, because HAIM works in that most vexed and scorned of genres: pop-rock. Here ends the questions-of-authenticity part of the review. Each is a multi-instrumentalist each sings. The three HAIM sisters are in their 20s with plenty of experience, including years spent playing in a band with their parents. First Listen First Listen: HAIM, 'Days Are Gone'
