Phoebe Rings
Phoebe Rings, a dream-pop quartet led by songwriter and jazz-trained pianist Crystal Choi, delivers an enchanting blend of introspective melodies and danceable grooves in their self-titled debut mini-album. This six-track collection is a tribute to the band's unique influences, from Studio Ghibli films to bossa nova and '90s Korean ballads. The EP's leading single, 'Daisy,' radiates warmth with shimmering synths and uplifting lyrics, while 'Cheshire' offers a whimsical, Alice in Wonderland-inspired journey. Choi's nostalgic city-pop influence shines through in 'January Blues,' reflecting her Seoul roots, and the ethereal 'Spissky' and 'Ocean' bring lullaby-like charm and Cocteau Twins-inspired mumble-core. The EP closes with the energetic 'Lazy Universe,' a chaotic, sci-fi-infused anthem. With a limited "milky clear" vinyl pressing available, Phoebe Rings is a great pick for fans of dreamy, genre-blending soundscapes.
