"Scoundrel Days" was Aha's second studio album, released to significant commercial success and critical acclaim. It featured hit singles like "I've Been Losing You", "Scoundrel Days", and "Hunting High and Low", showcasing the band's ability to craft catchy melodies, combine synth-heavy soundscapes with lush orchestration, and Morten Harket's distinctive vocals.
9.5/10 Recommended for: Fans of The Blue Nile, Prefab Sprout, Tears for Fears, and anyone who thinks 80s music was all bubblegum.
This is where the tag justifies its name:
While Hunting High and Low was a worldwide phenomenon, the band—led by Pål Waaktaar and Magne Furuholmen—wanted to distance themselves from "teen idol" status. Recorded in London at RG Jones Studios, the album features a more organic, aggressive sound, blending Yamaha DX7 and Roland Juno-106 synthesizers with moodier guitar work and Morten Harket’s most powerful vocal performances to date.
