Chris Egan III, Ignacio Rivas Bixio, John Hancock III played percussion and Tim Wheeler of Ash, Brian Robertson, Andrew Wilder played guitar. [1] On the album there were used instruments such as Minimoog, Omnichord, live drums and guitar. [3]
The title Davos is a homage to a now-decrepit ski resort where Johnson grew up in upstate New York, where her father worked and still resides, although the ski resort closed when Johnson was 3 years old. [2] [4]
Before the album's release, The New Yorker mentioned Davos in a This Week article. [5] 3 music videos were released to promote this album: "Be Fair" (filmed in Trona Pinnacles [4] ), "Hudson", and "Fuzz".
Stereogum premiered the first single "Be Fair" and described it as "one lusty synthpop hook after another". [6] They also premiered the single "Fuzz" and described it as "pulsating, funky '80s synth lines hold down the low end beneath clean, bright melodies that complement her vocals throughout the chorus". [7] According to the synthpop site The Electricity Club, songs like "Fuzz" and "Give Me Just a Minute" "recalled the early adventures of Ladytron, while "Hudson" hinted more at the leanings of Dubstar". [8]
All tracks are written by Danielle Johnson, except "All Day" credited to Danielle Johnson, Brian Robertson and Brian Hancock III

Sacred Hearts Club is the third studio album by American indie pop band Foster the People, released on July 21, 2017, through Columbia Records. The album was preceded by the extended play III, which is composed of three tracks from the album. Departing from the organic, acoustic sound of their previous 2014 album, it draws upon soul, dance, and electronic genres while maintaining their signature indie pop sound. The lyrics address themes of love, politics, fame, and youth, and, similar to their previous albums, are often at odds with the upbeat musical production. This is also their first studio album to feature long-time touring musicians Isom Innis and Sean Cimino as official members. It is also the band's final album to feature drummer Mark Pontius, who left the band in October 2021. It received primarily mixed reviews upon release, with many critics praising the experimentation while disliking the album's lack of musical consistency. Despite the mixed reception, the album's single "Sit Next to Me" received positive reviews, and peaked at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over two million copies across North America.

The lyrics of the album provide commentary on feminism, empowerment, and a return to roots.
