Music / NewsMusic / NewsWatch HAIM celebrate Hanukkah with their own festive songHAPPY HAIMUKKAHShareLink copied ✔️December 13, 2017December 13, 2017TextShelley Withington Last night marked the first night of Hanukkah, and HAIM were quick off the mark to show they’re definitely in the festive spirit. The trio are no strangers to a strong bass line and a steady drum beat and their new song, released especially for Hanukkah, is no exception.

HAIM released their second album Something To Tell You in July. The band worked with filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson on the beautiful video for “Right Now” and “Little of Your Love”, as well as the short film Valentine.
