The Phoenix Foundation is a six-piece band from Wellington, New Zealand. Formed in 1997, they have established themselves as one of the country's most influential and beloved musical acts.
They released their first album through Capital Recordings before moving on to Festival Mushroom Records for their second release. Their third album found a home at Flying Nun Records.
Their fourth album, Buffalo, marked a significant milestone as it was the first release on their own label. Since then, they have continued to captivate audiences with their unique sound and have collaborated with UK indie Memphis Industries for distribution.

2020 marks a decade since The Phoenix Foundation’s Buffalo was born. Featuring a number of the New Zealand group’s most enduring songs, from the gently psychedelic drift of opener Eventually, the idiosyncratic title track (once covered by Lorde, pop pickers!), the sugar-sweet Flock Of Hearts, pidgin-German Bitte Bitte to the soaring melancholy swell of closing tracks Wonton and Golden Ship it’s a record that has well and truly stood the test of time. Featuring guest appearances from fellow musical travellers Connan Mockasin and Lawrence Arabia, Buffalo took the band on quite a journey. Following its release in New Zealand in April 2010, the album found a home on one of the UK’s finest indie labels Memphis Industries. Hugely acclaimed on its European release, The Phoenix Foundation headed over to these shores for a run of sold out shows, appearances on TV in the UK and Germany, including a coveted slot on ‘Later… with Jools’, and saw them find a multitude of new fans including, but not limited to a certain Jarvis Cocker. To celebrate the anniversary, it is being made available in a limited edition of 250 ocean blue-coloured vinyl LPs. While preparing for this reissue the band discovered a vault with a missing herd of Buffalo’s Children, seven previous unreleased tracks available as a bonus CD initial orders while stocks last.
