Since the release of 2020's Women in Music Pt. III, the sisters in HAIM have been dabbling in the film industry. Alana starred in Paul Thomas Anderson's latest movie Licorice Pizza, while her sisters Este and Danielle and their parents also made appearances in the film. Now the band has shared the song "Lost Track" and a PTA-directed video, which played ahead of the film in select theater screenings.
"‘I’ll never get back what I lost track of.’ We had that line written for the last year but could never figure out what to do with it. We kept writing it down, not knowing where it should live," HAIM wrote on their Instagram. The video came together with PTA as part of W Magazine's directors issue. "An opportunity arose to do a quick music component while shooting the story. Paul mentioned having the book 'Appointment in Samarra' as a possible direction. So we did some digging around the book and were inspired by the scene where the main character throws a drink in someone’s face at a country club. We were inspired by the idea of someone doing something so drastic to get out of a situation they felt uncomfortable in—just to feel something. We finally remembered that lyric and wrote and recorded the song and shot the whole thing in a few days! Anyway, felt fun to do something very collaborative/off the cuff."
Check out the video for "Lost Track," which sees the sisters lighting up a country club, below.
