It will be available both physically and digitally from December 7, and as a limited edition 12’’ (release date coming soon). MERRY KRISKMASS was recorded at the Car Club & Surgery Studio with Lee Prebble & Brett Stanton during the recording of their soon (but not very soon) to be released fourth studio album, of which the title is almost decided but still unknown. Finally, The Phoenix Foundation are absolutely delighted to be playing support for Jarvis Cocker at the Wellington Town Hall on 3/12, and The Powerstation, Auckland on 4/12.
