Horsepower is an album by The Phoenix Foundation, released in 2003.[3][1] It was re-released outside of New Zealand in 2007.[5]

Critical reception

PopMatters wrote that one of the band's "greatest strengths is a mastery of sonic nuance ... the arrangements are rich and colorful, but the texture never feels too thick."[5] Illinois Times called the album's sound "a hypnotic, often melancholy brand of atmospheric alt-rock that combines beguiling vocal melodies with radiant guitars and eccentric production touches."[6]
