We’ve all made friends with death in the last two years. When I look to the future, I wa...

Haim have shared “Lost Track” and its accompanying Paul Thomas Anderson-directed video via W Magazine. The song was first shared during screenings of Anderson’s Alana Haim-starring film Licorice Pizza.

Paul mentioned having the book Appointment in Samarra as a possible direction,” they wrote. “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 so...
