Their first full-length album ''[[Horsepower (album)|Horsepower]]'' was released by Capital Recordings in mid-2003 to critical acclaim, and was moderately successful.

''Horsepower'' included such singles as "This Charming Van" and "Let Me Die A Woman" which received extensive airplay on [[Alternative rock|alternative]] radio stations such as [[95bFM]] and [[RDU-FM]].
In 2004, the band began work on their second album ''[[Pegasus (The Phoenix Foundation album)|Pegasus]]'', with Warner Emery replacing Hansen on bass.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kiwiswithinstruments.com/warner-emery |title=Kiwis with Instruments » Warner Emery |accessdate=2010-04-24 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100927065612/http://www.kiwiswithinstruments.com/warner-emery |archivedate=27 September 2010}}</ref> The album was released in early 2005 and met with some commercial success, eventually obtaining gold status in [[New Zealand]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.amplifier.co.nz/|title=Follow Amplifier|website=Amplifier.co.nz}}</ref> It was released in [[Australia]] by [[Remote Control Records]] in October 2006.


In 2005, the Phoenix Foundation toured with the [[Finn Brothers]] and put on their own theatre tour which included shows at the [[Opera House, Wellington|Wellington Opera House]] and Auckland's grand [[St. James Theatre, Auckland|St. James Theatre]]. In June 2005 producer [[Jet Jaguar (musician)|Jet Jaguar]] released [[remix]]es of songs from ''Horsepower'' on his website which are available for download.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nonwrestler.com/discography/jet-jaguar-remixes-phoenix-foundation|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714192206/http://www.nonwrestler.com/discography/jet-jaguar-remixes-phoenix-foundation|url-status=dead|title=Jet Jaguar remixes The Phoenix Foundation|archivedate=14 July 2011}}</ref>
==''Pegasus''==


Luke Buda was the first of the group to release solo material. His EP ''[[The C-Sides]]'' (2003) met with critical acclaim in local music reviews. This recording features the long time live favourite from the early days of The Phoenix Foundation, "Television Songs". Both Buda and Samuel Flynn Scott released solo albums in 2006. Buda's ''Special Surprise'' came out on [[Arch Hill Recordings]], and showcases his love of synth pop and carefully crafted melody. Scott's record ''The Hunt Brings Us Life'' was released on Loop Recordings. It has a more ramshackle feel than the music of The Phoenix Foundation and delves deeper into the [[Americana (music)|Americana]] that Scott's songs on ''Pegasus'' hinted at.
The Phoenix Foundation's second album ''[[Pegasus (album)|Pegasus]]'' was released in early 2005 and again gathered further plaudits. The album was met with some commercial success, eventually obtaining Gold status in [[New Zealand]].

[[Luke Buda]] was the first of the group to release solo material. His [[2003 in music|2003]] EP ''[[The C-Sides]]'' met with unabashed critical acclaim in local music reviews. This recording features the long time live favourite from the early days of The Phoenix Foundation "Television Songs". Band members Luke Buda and Samuel Flynn Scott both released solo records in 2006. Buda's ''[[Special Surprise]]'' came out on [[Arch Hill Recordings]], and showcases his love of synth pop and carefully crafted melody. Scott's record ''The Hunt Brings Us Life'' was released on [[Loop Recordings Aot(ear)oa|Loop]]. It has a more [[ramshackle]] feel than the music of The Phoenix Foundation and delves deeper into the [[Americana (music)|Americana]] that Scott's songs on ''Pegasus'' hinted at.

The Phoenix Foundation is a New Zealand indie rock band formed in Wellington in 1997.[3]

History

[edit]

Early years and China Cove

[edit]

The band was founded by Conrad Wedde, Samuel Flynn Scott, and Luke Buda in 1994 while students at Wellington High School. In 2001, the band expanded their lineup, and were joined by Tim Hansen (bass), Richie Singleton (drums) and Will Ricketts (percussion). The band took their name from a fictional organisation on the popular television show MacGyver.[4] After playing together for several years, they released the China Cove EP in 2000.

Horsepower

[edit]

Their first full-length album Horsepower was released by Capital Recordings in mid-2003 to critical acclaim, and was moderately successful. Horsepower included such singles as "This Charming Van" and "Let Me Die A Woman", which received extensive airplay on alternative radio stations such as 95bFM and RDU-FM.

Pegasus

[edit]

In 2004, the band began work on their second album Pegasus, with Warner Emery replacing Hansen on bass.[5] The album was released in early 2005 and met with some commercial success, eventually obtaining gold status in New Zealand.[6] It was released in Australia by Remote Control Records in October 2006.

In 2005, the Phoenix Foundation toured with the Finn Brothers and put on their own theatre tour which included shows at the Wellington Opera House and Auckland's grand St. James Theatre. In June 2005 producer Jet Jaguar released remixes of songs from Horsepower on his website which are available for download.[7]

Luke Buda was the first of the group to release solo material. His EP The C-Sides (2003) met with critical acclaim in local music reviews. This recording features the long time live favourite from the early days of The Phoenix Foundation, "Television Songs". Both Buda and Samuel Flynn Scott released solo albums in 2006. Buda's Special Surprise came out on Arch Hill Recordings, and showcases his love of synth pop and carefully crafted melody. Scott's record The Hunt Brings Us Life was released on Loop Recordings. It has a more ramshackle feel than the music of The Phoenix Foundation and delves deeper into the Americana that Scott's songs on Pegasus hinted at.

Happy Ending

[edit]

The band recorded the original score to the Taika Waititi film Eagle vs Shark in early 2006. The film was released world-wide on Miramax at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007. Following this success they also provided the score to Waititi's 2010 film, Boy.

The Phoenix Foundation signed a deal with label Young American Recordings to release their records in the United States. The first American release was Horsepower, on 13 March 2007.

The Phoenix Foundation released Happy Ending, their third album, in New Zealand in September 2007. This release was a switch from the Festival arm of Warner Music Group to Flying Nun, and features the single "Bright Grey".

After the release of Happy Ending, five members of the band released solo projects. In 2008, Scott's Straight Answer Machine was released (under the name Samuel F. Scott and the B.O.P.) and Buda released Vesuvius. In 2009, Conrad Wedde, Will Ricketts and Richie Singleon all released debut solo albums: Wedde's Bronze, Ricketts' (under the name Wild Bill Ricketts) John Dryden and Singleton's (under the name Rebel Peasant) The Walls of the Well. In 2009, Scott and Buda composed the soundtrack for the film Separation City, which featured many Phoenix Foundation tracks.

The Phoenix Foundation played support on the Split Enz tour of 2008.

Buffalo

[edit]

The Phoenix Foundation released the Merry Kriskmass EP in December 2009. It included songs that, according to the band, wouldn't fit with the atmosphere of their forthcoming album. The band's fourth album, Buffalo, was released in New Zealand on 26 April 2010. For the first time in the band's history, the album was released on vinyl as well as a digital download together with The Do Son EP.

Bass player Warner Emery left the band during the recording of Buffalo on amicable terms. He was replaced by Tom Callwood, who had previously provided double bass on the Merry Kriskmass track 'Forget It', and cello on Happy Ending.[8]

At the end of September 2010, the Phoenix Foundation announced a new record deal with UK record label Memphis Industries, which released Buffalo worldwide on 24 January 2011. To coincide with the release, the band toured the UK and Europe in January and February, and returned for a longer tour from May to July 2011.[9] Buffalo was well received by English critics, with The Guardian giving the album a 5-star rating.[10]

The band performed live on the BBC's ‘'Later... with Jools Holland'‘ on 25 October 2011. It was their UK TV debut. The band played two songs, "Buffalo" and "Flock of Hearts".[11] The album was shortlisted for the 2011 Taite Music Prize.[12]

In the meantime, Will Ricketts worked on his second solo album, West Wind, which was released on 3 October 2011.

Fandango

[edit]

The Phoenix Foundation's fifth album Fandango – their first double album – was announced at the end of January 2013. It was released on 26 April 2013 in New Zealand and Australia (Universal), and 29 April for the UK and Europe (Memphis Industries) rest of the world.[13] The release of the album was celebrated with a free download of the first single from the album: "The Captain" and UK/Europe Tour announcement in May and June in support of the album release.

Fandango was recorded over 15 months at four studios, partially at Neil Finn's Roundhead Studios, partially at a barn in the depths of the NZ countryside, partially at The Party Room in Dunedin, but mostly at the bands' own HQ, The Car Club in Wellington. The album was then mixed with the assistance of long term associate Lee Prebble at The Surgery.

Two different drummers took part in the recording session of Fandango. In September 2012, The Phoenix Foundation announced that Richie Singleton was leaving the band to focus on his work for the environment. It was an amicable split after 12 years playing with the band. Soon after that, Chris O'Connor joined TPF as their new drummer.

The Phoenix Foundation contributed covers to two tribute compilations. The first song was Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop" for MOJO's free cover CD Rumours Revisited (Issue No. 230, January 2013) and the second one Tim Hardin's "Don't Make Promises You Can't Keep" for Reason To Believe – The Songs of Tim Hardin. The latter tribute album from Full Time Hobby was released on 28 January 2013 and received very positive reviews. The Independent gave 4 out of 5 stars mentioning The Phoenix Foundation's version of "Don't Make Promises" as one of the highlights of the album[14] and a BBC reviewer said that "Kiwi experimental popsters The Phoenix Foundation call upon sublimely intelligent arranging skills to flesh out Don’t Make Promises."[15] The song is regularly broadcast on BBC 6 Music.

Give Up Your Dreams

[edit]

On 7 August 2015, The Phoenix Foundation released their sixth studio album, Give Up Your Dreams, which was met with wide acclaim from critics.[16] The band embarked on an eight-gig tour around New Zealand in support of the album,[17] The album spawned two new singles, "Mountain" and "Give Up Your Dreams", both of which had music videos made for them.

Collaboration with New Zealand Symphony Orchestra

[edit]

In 2018 the band performed some of their music with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra at concerts in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. The songs were selected by conductor Hamish McKeich and arranged for orchestra by composers Claire Cowan, Gareth Farr, Chris Gendall and Hamish Oliver.[18]

Friend Ship

[edit]

On 16 October 2020, The Phoenix Foundation released their seventh studio album, Friend Ship. Hollie Fullbrook of Tiny Ruins joins them on two tracks (Decision Dollars and Tranquility), and Nadia Reid guests on Hounds of Hell.
