The Phoenix Foundation will release their highly anticipated fourth studio album BUFFALO on Monday 26 April
04.03.10
[press release]
Buffalo is the eagerly awaited follow-up to The Phoenix Foundation's 2007 gold album Happy Ending, which received huge critical acclaim in New Zealand and rave reviews in the UK after its release there late last year.
The brand new FIRST SINGLE and title track - Buffalo - will be released to radio next week, AND will then be offered as a FREE DOWNLOAD for a limited time, along with an exclusive non-album B Side. A video clip for Buffalo will be released shortly. Listen out to the b.Net breakfast show this coming Tuesday 9th March for the 'premiere' of the new single.
Initially recorded at the band's practice room The Wellington Car Club (which they somehow manage to share with a group of car enthusiasts!), Buffalo was eventually finished with producer Lee Prebble at The Surgery in Newtown, with the help of Brett Stanton.
The new 10-track album is The Phoenix Foundation's most collaborative and unique work thus far. A combination of the avant-garde experiments of earlier albums Pegasus and Horsepower and the kaleidoscopic pop of Happy Ending, Buffalo pushes boundaries in a way that marks a new chapter in the band's development, and is irrefutable proof that they are creating the music of the present for the future.
Buffalo will be available in physical and digital formats, AND as a limited edition 12'' vinyl release (only 300 copies available). A limited number of collectors edition packages will also be available from the band's website, with pre-sales starting March 29 2010.
Fans will also be offered the opportunity to listen to selected tracks from Buffalo before the album's release date in April.
