Foot of the Mountain

Editorial Reviews

All Music Guide
After a reunion of sorts in 1998, a-ha have reminded audiences across the world of their continuing influence on popular music. This ninth studio album is something of a return to their synth pop roots, and finds them adopting a more familiar guise for their elder devotees. Influences cited by the group for Foot of the Mountain include Arcade Fire's Neon Bible and the conflicts of nature and modern civilization.

    Predictably excellent!!!

    This new album justifies why A-ha has continued to be one of my favorite artists for nearly 25 years. Every album is unique and all of them are fantastic. Foot of the Mountain has a very fresh and modern sound with a lot of emotional strength and beautiful harmonies.
