Phoebe Rings is a dream-pop band offering a unique blend of introspective yearning with celestial danceable grooves. Their self-titled debut EP, a hopeful collection of musings, out October 18, 2024 on Carpark Records, is a testament to the distinctive musical style of Auckland jazz-school-trained pianist and songwriter Crystal Choi. Across six tracks, the EP is a love letter to some of the bands influences: Studio Ghibli films, Zelda and Stardew soundtracks, Bossa Nova, Stereolab, and 90s Korean ballads. In 2020, the band played their first gig in a funny side room during a festival at Auckland Town Hall. Chois songwriting was brought to life with Alex Freer on drums, Simeon Kavanagh-Vincent on guitar and synths, and Benjamin Locke on bass. Choi says she knew the tracks had to be recorded after the band played the songs better than she could ever imagine. And so, remotely through the COVID-19 lockdowns, the band started recording the EP. Daisy is the vibrant leading single, with the shimmery refrain Ooh-wee-a-waa and the uplifting mantra: When youre next to me, the worlds full of daisies. The swirling synths fizz on the skin like warm sun, promising growth and new starts. Choi grew up in Seoul, developing a palette for K-pop and retro sounds. The city-pop influence of January Blues shines through, with Choi crediting one of her favourite songs from the 80s: ??? ?? ? [After Play]. The track explores her disconnect with the summer break.
