Phoebe Rings Announce Debut Album 'Aseurai' + Share 'Drifting' & Title Track

Chris Cudby / Photo credit: Frances Carter / Wednesday 5th March, 2025 11:55AM

We've witnessed something of a Phoebe Rings deluge over the past few months, as the Tāmaki Makaurau dream team's alliance with Carpark Records (home to The Beths, Hans Pucket) has borne fruit a reissue of their self-titled EP (with new material), their own video game, a bonus EP of SNES versions of selected tunes (!) and soon the release of their forthcoming debut album Aseurai. What began as the solo project of Crystal Choi has evolved to become a fully-fledged collaboration with bandmates Simeon Kavanagh-Vincent, Benjamin Locke and Alex Freer. Their impatiently awaited long player will be out in full on 6th June, and today fans are gifted both a relaunch of their spellbinding title track, plus brand new synth-squelching city pop stunner 'Drifting' — which also handily explains the name their forthcoming local tour.

Experience a masterfully executed live clip for 'Drifting' directed by Nahyeon Lee below, revisit the audio-visual splendour of the title track (also directed by Nahyeon Lee), pre-order Aseurai HERE and don't miss the productive collective's Aotearoa headline dates this autumn — before they jet around the planet...

"Aseurai means around you in the atmosphere, hard to reach, fading away. It’s a poetic expression. You wouldn’t say it in normal conversation, but I like that.

I feel more precious about this LP because it includes everyone’s gems". — Crystal Choi
