A-HA

A highly acclaimed later-period album from a-ha, combining the band's classic melodic strengths with contemporary electronic influences.

Released in 2009, Foot Of The Mountain marked a successful return for the Norwegian trio and became one of their most warmly received albums. The record saw a-ha embracing elements of synth-pop and electronic music while retaining the distinctive songwriting and soaring vocals that made them international stars.

Featuring the title track along with songs such as "Nothing Is Keeping You Here" and "Shadowside", the album showcases the enduring creative partnership between Morten Harket, Magne Furuholmen and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy. The result is a collection of polished, atmospheric recordings that appealed to both long-time fans and newer listeners.

Often compared favourably with the band's celebrated 1980s work, Foot Of The Mountain demonstrated that a-ha remained capable of producing sophisticated and memorable music decades after their breakthrough success.

An excellent addition for fans of a-ha, synth-pop, melodic rock and modern Scandinavian music.

A strong and stylish late-career album that proved a-ha's songwriting and musicianship remained as compelling as ever.
