Music News - The Phoenix Foundation Celebrate 10th Anniversary of 'Buffalo'
26 April 2020 - 0 Comments
This Sunday April 26th marks a decade since Buffalo was born. Featuring a number of the 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.
To celebrate the release, it is being made available in a limited edition of 250 ocean blue-coloured vinyl LPs, available for pre-order from 26th of April, with a release date of 5th June. While preparing for this reissue the band discovered a vault with a missing herd of Buffalo’s Children; 7 previously unreleased tracks released weekly until 5th June.
The album took the band on quite a journey. In 2013, the group were invited onto prestigious UK music show 'Later with Jools Holland', where they performed Buffalo and Flock Of Hearts, exposing them to a whole new audience, and saw their global audience grow exponentially. It features guest appearances from fellow musical travellers Connan Mockasin and Lawrence Arabia, and handsome cover art, that won that year’s Vodafone Music Award for best album artwork, by regular designer Paul Johnson.
Last year the album was voted 9th in Radio New Zealand’s list of the best local albums of the 2000’s – a testament to its enduring appeal.
The first new track out now is Danzig Bro, an almost entire live take as it happened in the studio. A mesmerising half-finished dirge that is somehow a gentle, krautified distillation of one TPF’s secret loves; the music of Glen Danzig.
