Clash #131

Clash Magazine is a multi-award winning music magazine that launched to critical acclaim in 2004, combining underground and mainstream music genres that includes fashion, film and entertainment in its subject matter. 

In this issue:

HAIM are the fourth face of CLASH 131.

Alana, Danielle and Este Haim are ready. It’s been five years since the release of their internationally successful ‘Women In Music Pt. III’, a period that pushed them to the limit. 

Growing as individuals, these experiences fed back into their music. Out now, HAIM’s phenomenal new album ‘I quit!’ is their most cohesive to date, the work of three incredible musicians working completely in sync

CLASH travelled to Los Angeles for this cover shoot, tapping into the unique creative energies of the West Coast in the process. Granted intimate access to HAIM’s world, the sisters opened up as never before: “We were all experiencing the same things: bad dates, good dates, crazy dates.”

Breaking down their new album, we capture their loyalty to one another, and the sense of creative risk that HAIM thrive upon.

As Alana Haim tells CLASH: “If you’re nervous, it means you care.”

Devon Ross is the third face of Clash 131.

A model, actress, and musician, Devon Ross is the original multi-hyphenate. As a kid growing up she’d spent long hours on the road, accompanying her musician father from show to show. Teaching her resilience, it also showed Devon that travel is something to embrace.

Finding her break in London, she was praised by Vogue and walked for Louis Vuitton; hand-picked to star in acclaimed comedy-drama Irma Vep, her life began to flash into fast forward.

That’s where music came in. Now settled in Los Angeles, Devon Ross pivots between squalls of feedback and bubblegum melodies, between revelatory, heart-scorching lyricism and killer chorus hooks. Lauded by Thurston Moore, this globe-wandering spirit has finally found her focus.

As she puts it: “Art is art. You make it and you know what it is… and it’s up to people to perceive it however they feel.”
