Phoebe Rings

Dream-pop 4-piece Phoebe Rings started with Crystal Choi in 2019, eager for an outlet after finishing jazz School. Since graduating, she’s toured internationally with sonically creative projects like Princess Chelsea and Jonathan Bree, who suggested Benjamin Locke for bass. After hearing the tracks, he immediately jumped at the opportunity to collaborate. 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. Described by RNZ as an ‘indie supergroup,’ Phoebe Rings intentionally weaves in each member’s expertise. Freer brings a polished and slick approach to the project. Meanwhile, Kavanagh-Vincent uses unconventional production techniques with rhythmic syllabic additions. Locke is a bassist with unexpected and considered lyricism. And at the helm: Choi’s agile, soaring, intimate vocals and songwriting.
