FREE DOWNLOAD OF THE DAY: Hell, this one might be the free download of the year, boys and gurls. We speak, with total reverence, of “The Wire,” the lead single from Days Gone By, the debut full-length from HAIM (Columbia, 9/30, all caps), three wildly talented Jewish girls from the Valley who just happen to be sisters (Haim is their last name—get it?) The track has received rave reviews from Dan Wilson (no slouch himself when it comes to hooks) and Rolling Stone, which gave it a rare four-star review. RS writer Mike Powell calls the track “a stomping, swerving piece of Fleetwood Mac-esque stadium pop—and the most triumphant breakup song since Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.' Haim don't bother waiting for the chorus to hook you: On this slice of aural apple pie, each section is catchier than the last.” You can get it for free for one more day at the iTunes store, where it’s the Single of the Week; we strongly suggest that you grab it right now. And check out the sitcom-styled clip, which just premiered on VEVO. (8/19a)
