Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 2009, 'Foot of the Mountain' marked a significant return for a-ha as their first studio album in six years, following the 2002 release of 'Lifelines'. This album signaled a resurgence of interest in the band, who had initially gained fame in the 1980s with hits like 'Take On Me'. At this point, a-ha was navigating a new musical landscape while still embracing elements of their early sound.
