Foothills
Higher than 23% of albums we've rated

The album showcases strong melodies and varied pacing but lacks a cohesive flow throughout its runtime.

What we noticed

  • The album opens with a theatrical overture that sets a whimsical tone, leading into tracks that blend upbeat melodies with introspective lyrics.
  • Several songs feature layered vocal harmonies and call-and-response structures, particularly in 'Sober Up' and 'I'm Not Famous'.
  • The pacing shifts noticeably between tracks, with the first half maintaining a more energetic tempo before transitioning to slower, reflective pieces in the latter half.

Influence 2/10

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.
