Excellent spooky and ambient debut album from Wellington combo.Recording for Horsepower began at The Surgery (Wellington) in June 2002 with Dr Lee Prebble (The Black Seeds) at the helm. The vibe of The Surgery suited The Phoenix Foundation and they joined the impressive list of artists who have recorded there (Trinity Roots, Recloose, The Black Seeds, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Cornerstone Roots and Twinset). Mastering was completed with Mike Gibson (Fur Patrol, Letterbox Lambs) at Inca Productions over the summer of 2002/2003.The album was released to critical acclaim in late June 2003, receiving glowing reviews in the Sunday Star Times (Grant Smithies), The Herald (Russell Baille) and The Listener (Nick Bollinger), the last of which rated it as one of the albums of the year in its 2003 review issue in December. Nominations followed for Best Pop and Best Rock at the 2004 b-Net Awards and Album of the Year at the prestigious Vodafone NZ Music Awards 2004.
