To celebrate 20 years since the The Phoenix Foundation’s debut album, Horse Power, it has finally been pressed to vinyl for the first time ever.
Horse Power is a sophisticated album with a well-developed sound, defying categorization but with a unifying thread of gentle melancholy.
It's a sort of eclectic blend suggesting elements of Pavement, Radiohead and Blur pale-tinted vocal harmonies glowing behind a canvas of ambient rock-pop. Meandering bass lines, gentle rhythms and melodies create a veil of sound, filmy enough to catch the breeze but too strong to push aside.
All eleven songs have been remastered for vinyl by the original mastering engineer Mike Gibson.
This delicious NZ made package comes on 180gm white vinyl with printed inner sleeve.
with a white 7” containing two unreleased Live RNZ recorded tracks.
