WEBVTT - Haim 0:00:15.476 --> 0:00:15.956 Pushkin. 0:00:20.356 --> 0:00:23.316 The youngest. Hiam's sister, Alana, started playing music with her 0:00:23.316 --> 0:00:26.116 older sisters Danielle and SD when she was just four 0:00:26.196 --> 0:00:29.156 years old. Back then, the three of them were part 0:00:29.196 --> 0:00:33.156 of their family band Rockenheim, playing charity gigs all over 0:00:33.316 --> 0:00:36.636 la in the valley where they grew up. After high school, 0:00:36.676 --> 0:00:39.316 Danielle was jamming and Laurel Canyon when Jenny Lewis spotted 0:00:39.356 --> 0:00:42.196 her and invited her to join her touring band. Not 0:00:42.316 --> 0:00:44.596 long after, she hit the road again, this time playing 0:00:44.596 --> 0:00:48.636 guitar and drums for Julian Casablancis. But eventually Danielle came 0:00:48.636 --> 0:00:50.756 back home, but did to start a band with her sisters. 0:00:51.476 --> 0:00:54.676 In twenty twelve, Hyam dropped their first EP, Forever, to 0:00:54.756 --> 0:00:58.156 critical acclaim. Pretty soon they were opening for a listers 0:00:58.236 --> 0:01:00.836 like Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. 0:01:01.476 --> 0:01:04.036 On today's episode, Lee ro sits down with Alana, Danielle, 0:01:04.036 --> 0:01:06.476 and st to talk about their new album I Quit, 0:01:06.916 --> 0:01:10.756 co produced with longtime collaborator Ross Them. The album dives 0:01:10.756 --> 0:01:13.436 into the highs and lows of single life in your thirties. 0:01:13.716 --> 0:01:15.916 The sisters also share why they still think like an 0:01:15.956 --> 0:01:19.356 opening band even when they're headlining stadiums in the moment 0:01:19.396 --> 0:01:21.596 they realize as kids that not everyone was growing up 0:01:21.636 --> 0:01:27.516 playing in the band with their parents. This is broken record, 0:01:27.956 --> 0:01:37.316 real musicians, real conversations. Here's Lea Rose with him. 0:01:38.116 --> 0:01:40.796 So I want to give you guys an opportunity to 0:01:40.876 --> 0:01:43.036 go really deep on the new album. 0:01:43.356 --> 0:01:45.556 Okay, Yeah, I've. 0:01:45.436 --> 0:01:47.916 Been listening to it, and I just want to say 0:01:47.996 --> 0:01:51.836 up top that I think the songwriting on the album. 0:01:51.636 --> 0:01:54.076 Is really really strong, thank you. 0:01:54.756 --> 0:01:57.156 And I was reading through the lyrics and I feel 0:01:57.236 --> 0:02:01.436 like it's like reading a really great short story where 0:02:01.836 --> 0:02:04.956 you I know where the writer like, I know exactly 0:02:04.996 --> 0:02:08.316 what the writer is going through, and I feel like 0:02:08.356 --> 0:02:11.436 the production around it is so strong and it's really 0:02:11.476 --> 0:02:14.836 complimenting the writing. And I think you guys have done 0:02:14.956 --> 0:02:19.556 a fantastic job on the Yeah, it's been so great. 0:02:19.716 --> 0:02:25.236 So let's talk about the first song on the album, Gone. 0:02:25.596 --> 0:02:25.996 Does this? 0:02:26.116 --> 0:02:27.716 Do you see this sort of like. 0:02:27.636 --> 0:02:30.516 When you were sequencing the album? Do you see this 0:02:30.596 --> 0:02:33.676 as sort of setting the tone for the entire album? 0:02:34.116 --> 0:02:36.836 Yeah, So when we started writing this song, it was 0:02:36.836 --> 0:02:43.076 actually towards the end of the album process, and I think, 0:02:43.916 --> 0:02:46.476 you know, we as sisters were talking about like what's 0:02:46.556 --> 0:02:50.516 missing from the story, what's missing from a sonic perspective, 0:02:51.636 --> 0:02:54.196 And I think we were listening to a lot of 0:02:54.236 --> 0:03:01.156 the Beyonce Cowboy Carter album and just loving the way 0:03:01.156 --> 0:03:04.196 that she was mixing all of these samples and referencing 0:03:04.276 --> 0:03:06.716 things that I think she's always done and it's something 0:03:06.756 --> 0:03:10.156 that we've always really love in. 0:03:11.236 --> 0:03:13.796 Certain songs, and we've never done that, we've. 0:03:13.636 --> 0:03:17.636 Actually so the sample and question is a sample from 0:03:17.716 --> 0:03:19.796 George Michael's Freedom ninety Freedom ninety. 0:03:19.876 --> 0:03:20.036 Yes. 0:03:20.116 --> 0:03:22.636 I was so excited when I figured there out. 0:03:22.636 --> 0:03:26.716 I was like, yes, We're such huge fans of George Michael. 0:03:26.796 --> 0:03:32.236 Has always been faith like has been a touchstone in 0:03:32.316 --> 0:03:36.476 the high and like Sonic universe since the beginning. And 0:03:37.476 --> 0:03:41.636 so I remember feeling like, Okay, we we I feel 0:03:41.636 --> 0:03:43.196 like we need a track one. We need to like 0:03:43.236 --> 0:03:47.396 bring the listener in story wise, and how do we 0:03:47.636 --> 0:03:49.756 how do we do that? What's the kind of feeling 0:03:50.356 --> 0:03:52.996 that we kind of want this track one to evoke? 0:03:53.036 --> 0:03:54.156 And it was this kind of like. 0:03:54.516 --> 0:03:58.236 Freedom, you know, And it was a I think when 0:03:58.436 --> 0:04:02.196 I went into the studio, and first of all, we 0:04:02.196 --> 0:04:03.916 were at the point where like Rosson was like we 0:04:04.036 --> 0:04:04.836 have the album. 0:04:05.076 --> 0:04:09.796 Yeah, and we were like, keep going right the album. 0:04:09.836 --> 0:04:11.956 It means that there is one more song in you. 0:04:12.036 --> 0:04:15.276 I feel like anytime that sentence is uttered in the studio, 0:04:15.716 --> 0:04:16.676 you have one more. 0:04:16.796 --> 0:04:19.836 You always have one more. Yeah. 0:04:20.076 --> 0:04:22.676 Do you guys feel like exhausted by this process? Is 0:04:22.676 --> 0:04:25.476 it like pulling teeth like getting the songs out or 0:04:25.516 --> 0:04:26.516 do you have more than enough? 0:04:26.596 --> 0:04:28.716 Oh? Getting the songs out is I think the most 0:04:28.756 --> 0:04:32.756 fun part. I think finishing songs is a bit tougher 0:04:32.836 --> 0:04:39.316 because we just really want to perfect the production, I think, 0:04:40.156 --> 0:04:42.836 but we've been a little bit more looser about that. 0:04:42.916 --> 0:04:46.916 I think, yeah, like less precious, less precious. 0:04:46.956 --> 0:04:48.956 Yeah, yeah, great for us. 0:04:48.796 --> 0:04:51.916 And for my mental Yes, and I feel like the 0:04:52.876 --> 0:04:56.396 I'm jumping ahead, but I feel like the last third 0:04:56.556 --> 0:05:01.116 of the album things sort of change. Was that something 0:05:01.716 --> 0:05:05.236 I mean, do you think that's accurate? And is that 0:05:05.316 --> 0:05:10.076 something that was sort of I also saw Rostam post 0:05:10.116 --> 0:05:14.756 about it and say track eleven, twelve, and thirteen are 0:05:14.796 --> 0:05:17.316 different from anything you've ever heard from Higham. 0:05:17.636 --> 0:05:19.476 I have to look at the sea. 0:05:19.516 --> 0:05:20.996 They can tell you what they are say. 0:05:21.036 --> 0:05:24.796 They are crying, spinning and baby blood on the street. 0:05:25.036 --> 0:05:25.516 On the street. 0:05:26.116 --> 0:05:29.876 It's try to Feel My Pain, Spinning and. 0:05:30.476 --> 0:05:35.796 Cry, Yeah, try to feel my pain. Yeah with specifically 0:05:35.796 --> 0:05:39.876 with Cry and Spinning. I think what he's explaining is 0:05:39.916 --> 0:05:42.076 that it's the first time on any High album that 0:05:42.396 --> 0:05:45.436 I'm singing lead on Spinning as he's singing lead on Cry, 0:05:46.756 --> 0:05:49.996 which we've never done before, and those songs actually came 0:05:50.396 --> 0:05:53.036 very like. The thing that's amazing about working with Rossam 0:05:53.076 --> 0:05:56.156 is it's like he's he's like a cheerleader. He's up 0:05:56.196 --> 0:06:01.156 for anything, like there's no there's no bad ideas. And 0:06:01.556 --> 0:06:04.396 I think making Spinning it was like a funny day 0:06:04.436 --> 0:06:06.316 where I was like falling in love with somebody that 0:06:06.356 --> 0:06:07.796 I wasn't supposed to fall in love with. 0:06:08.076 --> 0:06:09.996 Now in hindsight, I'm like, why did I fall in 0:06:10.036 --> 0:06:10.716 love with this person? 0:06:10.756 --> 0:06:14.716 But it's that like ooey gooey first like three weeks 0:06:14.756 --> 0:06:17.436 of like starting to detect someone and starting to talk 0:06:17.516 --> 0:06:19.916 to somebody, and I was like fully in this like 0:06:20.036 --> 0:06:22.156 rabbit hole, falling down this rabbit hole, and. 0:06:22.636 --> 0:06:24.116 We decided to write a song about it. 0:06:24.156 --> 0:06:30.436 The relationship did not last, stockingly did not last. 0:06:30.236 --> 0:06:31.036 But it was so fun. 0:06:31.076 --> 0:06:32.516 I mean, just to side it, he was like, let's 0:06:32.516 --> 0:06:35.596 you know and honestly, up until the last couple of 0:06:35.596 --> 0:06:37.076 weeks of the album, like I was like, we didn't. 0:06:37.116 --> 0:06:39.276 I was like, I don't I love this song? Does 0:06:39.316 --> 0:06:42.116 it fit on this album? And it felt like where 0:06:42.116 --> 0:06:45.076 it was in the sequencing it kind of fit having 0:06:45.316 --> 0:06:47.916 Cry and yeah, I'm. 0:06:47.876 --> 0:06:49.796 Very close to their like little sisters too. 0:06:50.356 --> 0:06:53.396 Yeah, but yeah, it's different, different stuff. Trying to think 0:06:53.516 --> 0:06:55.756 we still you know, we still try new things in 0:06:55.796 --> 0:06:56.276 this band. 0:06:56.876 --> 0:06:58.796 How do you guys feel about singing lead? Is that 0:06:58.876 --> 0:07:02.436 something that you wanted to happen before or how do. 0:07:02.476 --> 0:07:07.116 I mean, honestly, we'll see how it goes live. It's 0:07:07.116 --> 0:07:09.356 gonna be great. No, it's it's all that I mean. 0:07:09.436 --> 0:07:11.436 I honestly, sometimes I look at Danielle and I'm like, 0:07:11.596 --> 0:07:12.956 I don't know how you do this. 0:07:13.316 --> 0:07:15.436 Like I was playing the guitar at the same time, 0:07:15.516 --> 0:07:18.036 I was thinking. 0:07:16.956 --> 0:07:18.076 Like Danielle can sing lead. 0:07:18.796 --> 0:07:21.676 Danielle sing lead, you know, see like on a unicycle 0:07:21.756 --> 0:07:23.196 at this point, like yell it. 0:07:23.436 --> 0:07:24.996 Like I look at her and I was like, I 0:07:25.036 --> 0:07:28.756 do not know how you do this? All the time, yes, 0:07:29.476 --> 0:07:32.036 because it's I mean, I'm in ah, my little sister, 0:07:32.276 --> 0:07:37.276 I'm a little sister. That's an but it's definitely something new. 0:07:37.596 --> 0:07:40.116 It's a new it's a new feeling that I never 0:07:40.836 --> 0:07:43.796 was like striving for, but happy that it happened. But 0:07:43.956 --> 0:07:46.236 there was never a point where I was like I 0:07:46.356 --> 0:07:47.156 want to sing lead. 0:07:47.196 --> 0:07:48.356 I'm like anything. 0:07:48.356 --> 0:07:51.236 I was like, roth, I don't want to, like Danielle 0:07:51.236 --> 0:07:55.316 will sound better on this song, and everybody collectively like, no, 0:07:55.356 --> 0:07:57.836 it's good, it's good, it's good. But no, there was 0:07:57.836 --> 0:08:00.556 like never a point where I was like trying to 0:08:00.596 --> 0:08:02.996 sing lead. If anything, I love giving it to Dinyelle. 0:08:03.076 --> 0:08:06.436 But also that's a testament to that Like ross Dam, 0:08:06.636 --> 0:08:09.196 we were just trying new things in the studio and 0:08:09.516 --> 0:08:13.356 he always is so open to that, which is really 0:08:13.476 --> 0:08:15.316 nice to have and a producer. 0:08:15.396 --> 0:08:20.156 And I love how cry came out. I think it's 0:08:20.196 --> 0:08:24.956 such an important part on the album. It's fun. It's 0:08:24.996 --> 0:08:27.796 fun to write too and not. 0:08:28.156 --> 0:08:29.636 I mean when you listen to the song and you 0:08:29.676 --> 0:08:32.836 listen to the what the sentiment is, you wouldn't think 0:08:32.836 --> 0:08:34.476 it would be fun, but it was really. 0:08:37.076 --> 0:08:38.636 Is it fun because it's cathartic? 0:08:39.036 --> 0:08:41.076 Yeah, it was fun because like I was, I think 0:08:41.116 --> 0:08:43.756 I'd been holding in a lot of just this feeling 0:08:43.796 --> 0:08:48.516 of like being tired of crying so much about things 0:08:48.516 --> 0:08:50.956 that had happened to me, and then wanting to just 0:08:52.396 --> 0:08:55.796 kind of be done with the tears and to be 0:08:55.956 --> 0:08:59.276 moving on into something that you know, didn't make me 0:08:59.316 --> 0:09:02.596 cry tears of pain anymore, and more tears of joy. 0:09:03.516 --> 0:09:06.476 Totally, yes, less oily, more joy, you know. 0:09:07.836 --> 0:09:11.676 No, So I in the studio it was, you know, 0:09:12.116 --> 0:09:17.076 I'm really lucky that Danielle and Alana can they can 0:09:17.156 --> 0:09:19.556 kind of tell when I think we can all kind 0:09:19.556 --> 0:09:22.796 of tell when we come into the studio and something's up. Yeah, 0:09:23.116 --> 0:09:27.556 And I think that day in particular, I'd gotten a 0:09:27.636 --> 0:09:30.756 text message from an X and I was feeling really 0:09:30.756 --> 0:09:32.196 really emotional about it. 0:09:33.476 --> 0:09:35.676 And they knew. 0:09:37.156 --> 0:09:41.036 Without me even saying anything, that something was wrong. And 0:09:41.556 --> 0:09:44.796 the second they said that, I immediately burst into tears 0:09:44.836 --> 0:09:50.716 because they they you know, they can without even like 0:09:51.476 --> 0:09:55.756 just a look, they know exactly what's going on. And 0:09:55.836 --> 0:09:58.196 so I think the lyrics just kind of fell out 0:09:58.236 --> 0:09:59.236 of of all of us. 0:09:59.276 --> 0:10:00.716 I think that we've all kind of been there. 0:10:01.436 --> 0:10:04.436 Then. Yeah, it's to the Lana's point, it's going to 0:10:04.476 --> 0:10:08.996 be interesting seeing it live. But I think I think 0:10:09.236 --> 0:10:11.116 all of us, I think with the songs that we do, 0:10:11.796 --> 0:10:14.396 we kind of are transported. Whenever we're singing them, we're 0:10:14.436 --> 0:10:16.356 transported almost back to the place that. 0:10:16.236 --> 0:10:17.956 We were when we wrote it. 0:10:18.036 --> 0:10:20.676 I think there's definitely been times, I think, when all 0:10:20.676 --> 0:10:25.436 of us have cried on stage at the point, and 0:10:25.516 --> 0:10:27.916 I think a lot of that comes from, you know, 0:10:28.156 --> 0:10:30.156 kind of reliving the place that. 0:10:30.156 --> 0:10:32.796 We were when we wrote it, when we. 0:10:32.676 --> 0:10:36.516 Were experiencing it, and I think it's a it's a 0:10:36.556 --> 0:10:37.596 blessing in some ways. 0:10:37.596 --> 0:10:40.716 It's also it can be kind of fucking rough. 0:10:41.556 --> 0:10:44.756 Yeah, it doesn't you know, it doesn't deter us from 0:10:44.796 --> 0:10:46.796 wanting to play them live and wanting to tour, which 0:10:46.836 --> 0:10:48.036 is the good news. 0:10:48.756 --> 0:10:51.476 We like, you know, we still love playing live. 0:10:52.636 --> 0:10:54.116 I feel like that's a little bit rare. 0:10:54.156 --> 0:10:57.436 A lot of people I interview it sounds like they 0:10:57.796 --> 0:10:58.956 kind of hate. 0:10:58.756 --> 0:11:02.876 Being on the road. I know, it's just got comfortable. 0:11:02.516 --> 0:11:07.076 And I think it just goes back when we started 0:11:07.916 --> 0:11:11.236 High I'm Officially in two thousand and seven. We genuinely, 0:11:11.276 --> 0:11:13.556 I mean, we've been playing instruments together. 0:11:13.356 --> 0:11:16.116 Since I was four years old. We've been live since 0:11:16.116 --> 0:11:17.076 I was a baby. 0:11:18.436 --> 0:11:20.876 But when Hi I'm officially started in two thousand and seven, 0:11:20.956 --> 0:11:23.916 we always just considered ourselves a live band rather than 0:11:24.156 --> 0:11:27.276 a recording band, because we genuinely didn't have the knowledge 0:11:27.356 --> 0:11:28.836 of we would go into a studio. 0:11:28.956 --> 0:11:31.076 We'd like, save up all of our money for a year, 0:11:31.836 --> 0:11:32.276 go to a. 0:11:32.236 --> 0:11:38.076 Studio, sounds really great, and rehearsal we hosted for months, months, years, 0:11:38.116 --> 0:11:39.756 like literally we were rehearsed. We would make sure our 0:11:39.796 --> 0:11:44.196 parts were perfect, and we would go find a studio 0:11:44.316 --> 0:11:46.796 that we could afford, and we would have one day 0:11:47.036 --> 0:11:48.836 and in our minds, we have, okay, we have one 0:11:48.916 --> 0:11:54.236 day to record seven songs. Yeah, oh my gosh, if 0:11:54.276 --> 0:11:56.916 somebody can do that, like amazing, we could not. 0:11:57.076 --> 0:11:58.716 Yeah, we just we didn't have that. 0:11:58.796 --> 0:12:01.876 We didn't have the knowledge of I mean going into 0:12:01.916 --> 0:12:05.916 a studio and recording instruments even just like like no idea, 0:12:06.276 --> 0:12:08.476 you know, how do we just we didn't even know 0:12:08.476 --> 0:12:10.916 that we could refer and say can to the engineer, 0:12:10.916 --> 0:12:12.876 hey can we get this to sound like that? 0:12:12.916 --> 0:12:15.996 We just had no for knowledge or the engineer would 0:12:16.036 --> 0:12:18.196 be like, we'll do it in post. Yeah, like wech 0:12:18.996 --> 0:12:21.996 tells you that. That's like you can't me that. 0:12:22.036 --> 0:12:26.516 From two thousand and two twelve, when we finally figured 0:12:26.556 --> 0:12:30.236 out kind of what our sound was we were just 0:12:30.356 --> 0:12:34.276 play live, like every weekend, whatever gig we could get 0:12:34.276 --> 0:12:36.516 in La, we just played. 0:12:37.316 --> 0:12:40.156 And our goal in recording was just so we could 0:12:40.156 --> 0:12:43.036 play live. Yeah, because back in then, you wouldn't be 0:12:43.076 --> 0:12:44.876 able to get booked on gigs unless I mean I'm 0:12:44.876 --> 0:12:47.436 aging myself, but you had to have a my space, 0:12:48.596 --> 0:12:51.196 and what venues would do is they would go on 0:12:51.236 --> 0:12:53.756 your MySpace, they would look at you know, your track, 0:12:53.796 --> 0:12:55.356 and if they liked it, they would book you. And 0:12:55.396 --> 0:12:58.356 like we could not, I mean, to our credit, we 0:12:58.836 --> 0:13:00.476 always knew that the that. 0:13:00.556 --> 0:13:02.436 If we didn't like something, we didn't want to put 0:13:02.436 --> 0:13:02.756 it out. 0:13:02.836 --> 0:13:05.076 Even back in the day, even to get a gig, 0:13:05.116 --> 0:13:06.476 we were like, if it's not good. 0:13:06.316 --> 0:13:07.116 We can't do this. 0:13:07.716 --> 0:13:10.116 So there's not many I mean there are some please 0:13:10.116 --> 0:13:14.556 don't look at but there are some recordings that are 0:13:14.596 --> 0:13:18.236 out there. But really we thought that all we wanted 0:13:18.236 --> 0:13:21.836 to do is play. And even from our earliest gigs 0:13:21.836 --> 0:13:23.916 of like our first tours, like we were just so 0:13:23.996 --> 0:13:25.876 forever grateful to be out in the road because we 0:13:25.876 --> 0:13:27.836 would play like four people in LA and once we 0:13:27.876 --> 0:13:30.996 started toying, I mean my first tour, luckily Danielle was 0:13:30.996 --> 0:13:34.236 playing with Julian Casablancis at the time on his solo record, 0:13:34.676 --> 0:13:38.516 and he graciously gave us the opening slot for a 0:13:38.556 --> 0:13:39.116 couple of gigs. 0:13:39.156 --> 0:13:41.356 And I was in high school, I was seven, Like cool, 0:13:41.556 --> 0:13:44.516 does people think you were super cool for doing that? Yeah? 0:13:44.516 --> 0:13:48.196 I mean yes, well I thought I was cool. 0:13:48.236 --> 0:13:50.556 Finally for the first time, I think it was I 0:13:50.596 --> 0:13:52.876 had looked, I had looked at I mean, obviously the 0:13:52.956 --> 0:13:56.036 Strokes is such a you know, pivotal band in our 0:13:56.236 --> 0:13:57.156 musical upbringing. 0:13:57.476 --> 0:13:59.476 Yeah, But going on. 0:13:59.436 --> 0:14:02.716 Tour at fresh eighteen, I thought, you know, this is it, 0:14:02.756 --> 0:14:06.356 this is gonna be my life. Didn't happen quite as 0:14:06.436 --> 0:14:09.596 fast as thought it was going to happen. But the 0:14:10.076 --> 0:14:12.476 just that first tour, like that first like taste of 0:14:12.556 --> 0:14:16.636 like we could play music together in other places, in 0:14:16.876 --> 0:14:20.556 other cities. 0:14:19.836 --> 0:14:23.556 Like our valley haunts, was mind blowing. 0:14:23.756 --> 0:14:26.076 And so every band that took us on tour, I 0:14:26.076 --> 0:14:29.236 mean opening, those few years of opening were the greatest 0:14:30.156 --> 0:14:32.196 years I think our lives, because it was just we 0:14:32.196 --> 0:14:35.756 were just so forever grateful that a band would take 0:14:35.836 --> 0:14:37.876 us out on the road and would want us to play. 0:14:39.076 --> 0:14:41.116 And still to this day, I'm like, I love opening. 0:14:41.196 --> 0:14:43.676 It's great. Yeah, and it seems like you're. 0:14:43.796 --> 0:14:47.916 Pressure build though, you know, because if somebody is there 0:14:47.956 --> 0:14:50.836 to see the big like whoever is the headlining act, 0:14:50.916 --> 0:14:52.396 Like do you feel like you have to win them 0:14:52.436 --> 0:14:53.516 over or do you guys? 0:14:53.756 --> 0:14:56.236 Yeah, I mean it's not going week. Yeah, it's not 0:14:56.316 --> 0:14:58.836 for the week, but you have to go in knowing 0:14:58.916 --> 0:15:01.036 I have. Yeah. 0:15:01.196 --> 0:15:03.276 I think we still go out on like our own 0:15:03.316 --> 0:15:05.356 shows when we're headlining, like with the same. 0:15:07.876 --> 0:15:10.756 People are gonna leave after our opener. Now we're like, oh, 0:15:10.796 --> 0:15:14.276 we're actually here for us. But I think that's like beautiful, 0:15:14.356 --> 0:15:18.956 big Yes, I think we'll forever have big, big, open 0:15:19.076 --> 0:15:21.316 mentality because it's actually more fun that way. I mean, 0:15:21.356 --> 0:15:25.916 wee we did have always taken our live show extremely 0:15:25.996 --> 0:15:29.316 seriously and because that's also where we have the most fun. 0:15:30.076 --> 0:15:34.396 So recording has now kind of like caught up with it. 0:15:34.596 --> 0:15:36.676 I think now we're more comfortable in the studio and 0:15:36.676 --> 0:15:38.316 we have a lot more fun in the studio. But 0:15:39.076 --> 0:15:42.196 there is nothing like showing up to a city. You 0:15:42.276 --> 0:15:43.916 like wake up and you're in a new place. You 0:15:44.036 --> 0:15:46.116 like have to get your bearings, have to figure out 0:15:46.116 --> 0:15:47.676 what you're gonna do, and you play a show. 0:15:47.716 --> 0:15:50.956 It's like that first light drop still to this. 0:15:51.036 --> 0:15:54.436 Day, Like no matter where I am, what show when 0:15:54.436 --> 0:15:58.316 the lights go off, it's the biggest high I'll ever have. 0:15:58.316 --> 0:15:58.836 In my life. 0:15:59.516 --> 0:16:01.756 I know a lot of people struggle with like keeping 0:16:01.796 --> 0:16:04.236 that high going specifically. 0:16:03.916 --> 0:16:08.556 We're good.

So I'm happy 0:17:10.236 --> 0:17:12.436 to be with them all. 0:17:14.556 --> 0:17:16.796 Now. Time for a summer sit moment, brought to you 0:17:16.836 --> 0:17:19.556 by the Starbucks Coffee Company. One of the things I 0:17:19.596 --> 0:17:22.996 love most about summer are the summer songs. You know them, 0:17:23.076 --> 0:17:24.876 the songs that make you want to roll your windows 0:17:24.876 --> 0:17:27.316 down and drive just a little bit longer or walk 0:17:27.356 --> 0:17:29.876 a little bit slower to enjoy the moment. I mean, 0:17:29.916 --> 0:17:31.596 just thinking about some of the songs from last year, 0:17:31.676 --> 0:17:35.316 like Hot to Go by Chapelarone, Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter, 0:17:35.476 --> 0:17:38.676 and Nasty by Tanache make me so excited for the 0:17:38.676 --> 0:17:42.236 summer to come. Summer songs have become the unofficial soundtrack 0:17:42.316 --> 0:17:44.676 to so many of my summer memories, whether I'm on 0:17:44.716 --> 0:17:47.076 a hike, cutting them on local Starbucks, or just stuck 0:17:47.116 --> 0:17:50.396 in traffic pretending I'm somewhere cooler. These are the tracks 0:17:50.476 --> 0:17:53.196 I never get tired of. They sneak on my playlist 0:17:53.236 --> 0:17:56.596 every summer without fail. When you boil it down, Summer's 0:17:56.636 --> 0:17:59.196 about two things, trying to stay cool and trying to 0:17:59.276 --> 0:18:02.596 enjoy as much summer fun as possible. Luckily, I've found 0:18:02.596 --> 0:18:06.316 something that helps with both the Summer Burrier Refresher from Starbucks. 0:18:06.916 --> 0:18:08.676 Just take a sip at a second to cool down 0:18:08.716 --> 0:18:12.316 and then each summer moment. Years before Broken Record, I 0:18:12.396 --> 0:18:14.556 used to work at Starbucks, so I love seeing which 0:18:14.556 --> 0:18:18.076 seasonal menu items are now available. My favorite this summer 0:18:18.196 --> 0:18:21.236 is the Summer Berry Refresher, a bright blend of berry 0:18:21.276 --> 0:18:24.596 flavors all shaken with ice import over raspberry flavored pearls. 0:18:24.996 --> 0:18:28.796 This beverage delivers a burst of raspberry flavor in every sip. 0:18:29.396 --> 0:18:32.196 Being in Los Angeles, the summers can be brutally long 0:18:32.276 --> 0:18:34.876 and hot, so I couldn't wait to try this one out. 0:18:34.956 --> 0:18:38.556 And man, the beverage really is refreshing. The Summer Berrier 0:18:38.596 --> 0:18:41.276 Refresher is the perfect companion to cool you down. I 0:18:41.316 --> 0:18:44.796 promise I'm all in for the ice beverages at Starbucks. 0:18:44.956 --> 0:18:47.236 There's something about the first sip of something iced and 0:18:47.276 --> 0:18:49.836 refreshing that hits differently when the sun's high in the 0:18:49.876 --> 0:18:52.516 afternoon sky. I like to carve out a little moment 0:18:52.516 --> 0:18:54.876 of me time, so I swing by my neighborhood Starbucks, 0:18:54.956 --> 0:18:57.316 grab a drink and just be for a bit before 0:18:57.316 --> 0:19:00.036 I head into the studio to record Broken Record and 0:19:00.156 --> 0:19:03.356 especially now that summer is here, that ritual is even sweeter. 0:19:03.876 --> 0:19:06.396 I was very excited to see the Summer Barry Refresher 0:19:06.436 --> 0:19:09.636 return to the Starbucks menu and Broken Record host Leah 0:19:09.676 --> 0:19:12.716 Rose recently tried it too on her recent vacation back 0:19:12.756 --> 0:19:15.236 East Lea. What made you stop by Starbucks and pick 0:19:15.276 --> 0:19:16.596 up a summer berry refresher? 0:19:17.316 --> 0:19:20.996 So I tried the Summer Berry Refresher on a super 0:19:21.036 --> 0:19:23.516 super hot, humid Maryland day. 0:19:23.756 --> 0:19:24.676 I was sweating. 0:19:24.876 --> 0:19:26.996 We were lugging a bunch of stuff around, getting ready 0:19:26.996 --> 0:19:29.396 to go to the pool, and I saw Starbucks and 0:19:29.436 --> 0:19:31.316 to my husband, I'm like, pull over, pull over, poll over, 0:19:31.396 --> 0:19:35.156 I need to get this summer Berry refresher drink. And 0:19:35.196 --> 0:19:37.676 I got it, and it's so beautiful And the first 0:19:37.676 --> 0:19:39.236 thing I wanted to do was take a picture of it. 0:19:39.276 --> 0:19:41.556 And of course it looks nice, right, it looks nice. 0:19:41.596 --> 0:19:44.756 It looks so beautiful, the colors are so pretty, and 0:19:44.796 --> 0:19:48.316 it has those raspberry pearls. But I was so hot, 0:19:48.356 --> 0:19:50.716 I just like had to drink it immediately. I started 0:19:50.756 --> 0:19:55.156 drinking it. And the craziest, most unexpected thing about it 0:19:55.236 --> 0:19:56.916 is those raspberry pearls. 0:19:57.516 --> 0:20:00.396 Yeah, yeah, they're nice, A nice little touch They're. 0:20:00.236 --> 0:20:03.116 A nice touch, and they add more flavor to it, 0:20:03.236 --> 0:20:05.836 like each pearl when it bursts, it's like a whole 0:20:05.876 --> 0:20:06.996 different berry flavor. 0:20:07.556 --> 0:20:09.156 I was so into it. 0:20:09.396 --> 0:20:11.636 Yeah, just the texture of this is different, and it 0:20:11.756 --> 0:20:14.716 just makes that drink so refreshing nice. It's crazy. 0:20:15.356 --> 0:20:18.836 It was incredible and it immediately did the job. And 0:20:18.876 --> 0:20:20.996 I was so happy that I pulled over and got one. 0:20:21.396 --> 0:20:23.156
