Foothills

Higher than 34% of albums we've rated

The album showcases strong melodies and varied tempos but lacks depth for long-term engagement.

What we noticed

• — The first three tracks feature driving synth lines and upbeat tempos, while the fourth track introduces a slower, more contemplative mood.
• — Several songs incorporate layered vocal harmonies that create a rich texture, particularly in the choruses.
• — The album closes with a track that features an extended instrumental outro, allowing for a gradual fade-out rather than a sudden end.

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
