Haim, the pop band of three California sisters who found a ready fan base with their debut album four years ago, have announced the long-awaited follow-up.
Something to Tell You, will be out on July 7 and on Wednesday night the band gave family, friends, including Oscar-winning actress Brie Larson, and fans a sneak peek of their new video at a special party at Canters on Fairfax in California, the site of the sisters’ first show almost 18 years earlier.

Haim released a first song, Right Now, that moves the band's pop sound in a trippier direction, with a syncopated rhythm over the piano leading to a dark baritone saxophone.
The band - made up of sisters Alana, Danielle and Este Haim - was described as a latter-day Fleetwood Mac when they released its debut album Days Are Gone in 2013.
Acclaimed filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, Magnolia) directed the video for Right Now.
Haim won a growing fan base with appearances at some of the world's biggest festivals and a collaboration with Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks.

The trio also played support to Taylor Swift on her world tour in 2015 but were forced to cancel their scheduled appearance at Electric Picnic last year due to "recording issues" with their new album.
As with Days Are Gone, Haim said it worked on the latest album with producer Ariel Rechtshaid, who also recorded Adele's hit When We Were Young in 2015.
The band also worked on the latest album with Rostam Batmanglij , best known for his work with Vampire Weekend.
