The second album from NZ duo Foley — now based in Sydney — is an electropop gem.
Recorded on Waiheke Island, the sun-soaked location became the group’s “extra member”, with Ash Wallace and Gabriel Everett soaking in the perfect weather and natural charm.
The result? A collection full of shimmering vocals, dynamic guitars and hooks that stick, all delivered with newfound confidence. Standout tracks like “Low and High”, “Unstable”, and “Heartstrings” tackle love, loss, and trauma with a light-hearted touch. Even when it gets a little aspirational, like on “Time of My Life”, it works.
Bright, punchy, and full of their signature confessional style, That’s Life, Baby! is a slice-of-life with the attitude to take on whatever comes your way. Foley’s second album should bring them to a wider audience.
