Haim chat to 6 Music DJ and psychotherapist Nemone

Sisters Danielle, Alana and Este share the pivotal moments that have made them the artist they are today, and the songs that have sound-tracked the ups and downs of their life.

Haim sisters Danielle, Alana and Este share the pivotal moments that have made them the multi-talented artist they are today, and the songs that have moved them and sound-tracked the ups and downs of their life.

Talking to Nemone, who combines her roles of DJ and qualified psychotherapist, the sisters dive deep to share their journey, and reveal how personal experiences and emotions are woven through their own work. It鈥檚 a chance to understand their relationship with music more intimately, to learn more about how they鈥檝e used sound to communicate, and how they鈥檝e reached the place we meet them in today.

The sisters grew up in a musical family, and began playing instruments from an early age in the cover band Rockinhaim, fronted by their parents, Moti and Donna. Elder sisters Este and Danielle performed briefly with the pop group Valli Girls in 2005, releasing a few songs on soundtrack and compilation albums under that name. In 2007, they formed Haim with younger sister Alana, but did not seriously consider it a professional career for some years. After Danielle became a successful touring guitarist, first with Jenny Lewis and later with Julian Casablancas, Haim reformed as a full-time band in 2012 and released their debut album a year later.

A decade on from the release of Days Are Gone, Danielle, Alana and Este join Nemone for a spot of family therapy to talk about their early days and the making of the album. Este opens up about how she and her family navigate her diabetes, the music they listened to on car journeys as teenagers in Los Angeles, and what it's like to be siblings in a band together. Featuring music from Joe Walsh, Rilo Kiley, The Strokes, Kate Bush, and a 'self-care' track from Joni Mitchell.
