Aotearoa’s current Y2K-era pop movement is being kicked into overdrive thanks to Foley.
The duo turn things up a notch following 2021’s Vacation EP with this debut effort. Foley show off their production chops with a synth-driven pop-sugar rush. Standout tracks “Killing Me Babe” and “What Got Into You” — which sounds like a cross between Betty Who, Dagny and vintage Pixie Lott — explore the complications of human connection.
Sharp, analytical, and deeply confessional, Crowd Pleaser reminds you of the kind of trouble you welcome with open arms.
