A-Ha: We're more than cheekbones
A-Ha have insisted they are no longer "misplaced poster boys".
Magne Furuholmen, one third of the popular 80s pop group, said he was pleased the impact of their music, such as 1985 hit Take On Me, on contemporary artists shows the band were "more than cheekbones."
"That's part of the vindication on our part that we get credited for the music that we left behind these days," he said.
He added: "That's the inheritance you want to leave behind, not the frustration of being an awkward pop star or a misplaced poster boy, that's just kind of a headf**k that's not something you wish to leave behind as a legacy."
Talking about Foot Of The Mountain, which is the group's ninth studio album, he said: "It was a real thrill to re-examine our formative elements and use them hopefully in ways that rejuvenates them and makes us move forward as opposed to backward."
Front man Morten Harket added the new album has been exciting to make, saying: "It's been a great kick."
