Phoebe Rings is a 4-piece dream-pop band from Auckland, New Zealand led by songwriter Crystal Choi.
In 2020, their first dreamy single "Cheshire" became one of BFM's most played tracks of the year and made number 1 on various student radio stations and alternative charts. This was soon followed up by the self-titled EP, 5 tracks showcasing a broad sonic palate, combing brush strokes of avant-pop, shoegaze, city pop and jazz.
Amidst tours, festivals and notable support slots, the band has kept busy, self recording their next instalment of luscious tunes co-written by all members of the band - Alex Freer (A.C Freezy), Simon Kavanagh-Vincent (Lucky Boy) and Ben Locke (Sea Views).
The first of these, 아스라이 (Aseurai) was released in November 2023 and quickly picked up by Rolling Stones - Songs You Need To Know. Their latest single Mandarin Tree, recently charted on Hot 20 NZ Singles and has become a beloved hit across the student radio stations of Aotearoa.
