Words by David Ehrlich

Take a first look at the band’s new sin­gle ​‘Right Now’.

Paul Thomas Ander­son is no stranger to mak­ing music videos, hav­ing shot numer­ous short accom­pa­ni­ment over the years for the likes of Radio­head, Joan­na New­som and Fion­na Apple.

Now the writer/​director of Boo­gie Nights, There Will Be Blood and The Mas­ter has shot a live stu­dio record­ing of HAIM’s forth­com­ing sin­gle ​‘Right Now’, tak­en from the band’s sec­ond album ​‘Some­thing to Tell You’, which is released glob­al­ly on 7 July via Polydor.

The song is launched here as a video fea­tur­ing HAIM mem­bers Este, Danielle and Alana in a record­ing stu­dio – all cap­tured in a sin­gle take. It’s the first new mate­r­i­al from the band in sev­er­al years, and anoth­er curi­ous career turn from the acclaimed Amer­i­can filmmaker.
