CoSigned pop music sisters Haim have released “The Wire” as their latest single. The song has been a favorite in the band’s repertoire for a while now, but today BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe premiered the studio version — take a listen to it below.
The steady-paced number isn’t quite as instantly gratifying as “Don’t Save Me” or “Falling”, but stills packs all of Haim’s signature tricks, including a punchy chorus and oh-so-warm harmonies that trickle and soar with near-precision.
In related news, the band has announced plans for a new leg of US tour dates around their upcoming appearance at Austin City Limits Festival. Check out the full tour docket, which also includes appearances at Lollapalooza, Made in America, Treasure Island Music Festival, and more, below.
