Phoebe Rings - 'January Blues' in PBS Studio 5 Live September 15, 2025

Phoebe Rings shimmers into orbit with their debut LP, Aseurai. The record adds disco and city-pop influences while staying true to their dream-pop roots. While Phoebe Rings was originally a solo project of lead singer/synthesist Crystal Choi's, Aseurai marks a shift with contributing songwriting credits from the whole band. Across ten songs, Phoebe Rings' storytelling ranges from tongue-in-cheek musings on gentrification to tender autobiographical memories.

Check out a clip of Phoebe Rings and band performing 'January Blues' on Homebrew for Studio 5 Live, recorded and broadcast on September 15, 2025. You can also listen back to the full set plus an interview with host Brooke Kymberley here: pbsfm.org.au/program/homebrew/2025-09-15/15-00-00
