Haim made their grand return last week with the slow-burning “Right Now” live video, and while it definitely was cool to see the sisters swap instruments around, the song itself definitely felt like a prologue.

Do you want slap bass? Hell yeah, you’ve got slap bass. Do you want guitars playing both acoustic arpeggios and palm-muted funk leads? It’s covered.
