"...While Wellington bustles with sprawling reggae and dub outfits, Phoenix Foundation don't seem to fit the niche. There is however a clear reference point for Horsepower within the capital's music scene, the gentle album last year by TrinityRoots, True. "There was inspiration for us on that album, we're all very big TrinityRoots fans. It comes from a different historical background but a lot of what they are trying to achieve is quite similar. We're just trying to make something intimate, honest and beautiful, I guess. That would be the ultimate goal." (Sam Scott)"
