Phoebe Rings
Phoebe Rings started with Crystal Choi in 2019, eager for an outlet after finishing jazz School. “I got very sick of jazz. I just didn’t want that sound anymore,” she adds. “Dream-pop was my favourite thing to listen to. It fits the vibe and visuals of where I wanted to go.” Graham Reid praises the ethereal fantasy: “If the occasion arises for you to take a few moments to let the world go, this is the EP for you.”

Choi moved to New Zealand in 2000, growing up in a Korean-speaking home in T?maki Makaurau on the North Shore. She gravitated to the keyboard after school while her parents worked long hours to set up a new business. In an interview with Metro Mag, Choi reflects on the nuanced layers she brings growing up between cultural fabrics as a Korean New Zealander. With these inspirations, her gut tends pulls her towards the introspection of her first language, found in Korean ballads and literature. Speaking to Rat World, lyrics are the final puzzle piece after settling on a melody or groove.

The band are talented musicians in their own right. Simeon Kavanagh-Vincent (Princess Chelsea) is also bedroom pop project Lucky Boy. Alex Freer (Tiny Ruins) is known for his sultry synth-pop solo project, A.C Freazy. “Everyone is very selfless and in service of the music. We’re all on the same mission statement,” adds Freer. “We might add an interesting spice, but everyone wants to make a good soup.”
