You're listening to Song Exploder,
where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made.
I'm Rishikesh Hirway.
This episode contains explicit language.
Haim is a band from Los Angeles made up of the sisters Danielle, Esty, and Alana Haim.
They've released three albums and they've been nominated for three Grammys.
Over the years, they've worked extensively with Grammy-winning producer Arielle Rekscheid.
He and Danielle are also a couple,
and I only mention that because it's relevant to the story you're about to hear.
I spoke to Danielle and Arielle about the making of the song Summer Girl from Haim's third album,
Women in Music Part 3.
In this episode,
they break down the song along with Esti Haim and the song's co-producer and co-writer, Rostam.
I miss Summer Girl My name is Danielle Haim.
My name is Ariel Rekshai.
I'll never forget, I had heard a Cass McComb song that I loved called County Line.
And I remember like looking up, who did this album?
Who produced this?
Like, this is awesome.
And I saw this name, Ariel Rekshai.
