来自新西兰奥克兰的菲比·林兹带着首张专辑《Aseurai》闪耀登场，专辑标题取自主唱兼合成器手克里斯托·崔（Crystal Choi）的韩语母语，蕴含着专辑的核心主题。“Aseurai的意思是在你周围的氛围中，难以触及，逐渐消逝，”崔解释道，“这是一种诗意的表达，日常对话中不会用到，但我喜欢这种感觉。”
继2024年乐队同名EP之后，《Aseurai》在保留梦幻流行根源的同时，融入了迪斯科和城市流行的影响。菲比·林兹最初是崔的个人项目，而这张专辑标志着乐队全员参与创作的转变——四位成员均在新西兰其他知名项目中积累了丰富经验，如Princess Chelsea、Fazerdaze、Tiny Ruins、AC Freazy、Sea Views和Lucky Boy。
凭借更丰富的乐器编排，崔表示这张专辑开启了真正的协作之旅：“我对这张LP格外珍视，因为它凝聚了每个人的闪光点。”吉他/合成器手西蒙·卡瓦纳-文森特（Simeon Kavanagh-Vincent）以大胆的模糊吉他音色引领出人意料的编曲，为音乐增添活力；本杰明·洛克（Benjamin Locke）的歌词赋予成熟质感，搭配堪称完美主义的贝斯线；鼓手亚历克斯·弗里尔（Alex Freer）精湛的制作则将《Aseurai》推向多元且协同的新高度。正如多人协作能熬出更浓郁的汤，多种音乐元素的融合也塑造了独特的“菲比·林兹”之声。
如果说EP充满了太空般的缥缈感，《Aseurai》则扎根于现实时刻。“不必过于悲观，但世界确实变得有些奇怪，自EP发行以来，很多事情都变了，”卡瓦纳-文森特谈及这种转变时说道。专辑探讨了希望与渴望的各种可能，关于“坚持与放手”的探索自然贯穿始终。在十首曲目中，菲比·林兹的叙事从对 gentrification（gentrification：绅士化，指城市中产阶级化导致原有社区变化）的戏谑思考，到温柔的自传式回忆，跨度丰富。
“（愿遥远星辰的光芒坠落）/（伸出指尖，让你呼吸）”，崔在标题曲《Aseurai》中唱道。这首歌以90年代韩国流行乐队为灵感，打造出 breezy（轻松惬意）的曲风，而在完善歌词时，崔发现它实则讲述了对无法再相见之人的思念。在复古迪斯科风格的《Get Up》中，洛克以《黑客帝国》般的驱动性 mantra（ mantra：咒语，此处指重复的主题句）探讨心理健康困境：“只管起来/只管起来”。《Fading Star》则是一首古怪的民谣，充满尖锐的爵士/摇滚吉他独奏，献给一位郊区的资深音乐人。卡瓦纳-文森特的主打单曲《Drifting》是一首单恋的天体情歌，跳动的贝斯与俏皮的合成器交织其中。
乐队于2023至2024年在新西兰奥克兰（Tāmaki Makaurau）的录音室和成员家中完成了专辑的创作、制作与录制。专辑由当地传奇音乐人杰里米·托伊（Jeremy Toy，曾与Bic Runga、Aaradnha、Princess Chelsea合作）负责混音/混音制作，凯利·希伯特（Kelly Hibbert）担任母带处理。《Aseurai》标志着菲比·林兹在音乐天空中划出一片璀璨的新星群，将个人创作亮点无缝编织成一个天体般的整体——2025年6月6日，通过Carpark唱片向天际启航。

Phoebe Rings (Auckland, New Zealand) shimmers into orbit with their debut LP, Aseurai, pulling from lead singer/synthesist Crystal Choi’s Korean mother tongue to encapsulate the themes. “Aseurai means around you in the atmosphere, hard to reach, fading away,” Choi says. “It’s a poetic expression. You wouldn’t say it in normal conversation, but I like that.”
Following the four-piece band’s 2024 self-titled EP, Aseurai adds disco and city-pop influences while staying true to dream-pop roots. While Phoebe Rings was originally a solo project of Choi’s, Aseurai marks a shift with contributing songwriting credits from the whole band. The four musicians cut their teeth working on other notable NZ projects such as Princess Chelsea, Fazerdaze, Tiny Ruins, AC Freazy,, Sea Views and Lucky Boy.
With a more ambitious collection of instruments, Choi says this album heralds the start of true collaboration: “I feel more precious about this LP because it includes everyone’s gems.” Guitar/synthesist Simeon Kavanagh-Vincent spearheads unexpected arrangements, with bold fuzzy guitar textures, to spice up the mix. Benjamin Locke adds maturity to the lyrics, paired with perfectionist bass lines. And drummer Alex Freer’s slick production soars Aseurai to diverse and synergetic heights. The broth is richer with more cooks in the kitchen, and the brewing of textures creates a distinct ‘Phoebe Rings’ sound.
If the EP was spacey, then Aseurai settles on earth, rooted in tangible moments. “Without getting too gloomy, it’s a weird world out there. A lot has changed in the world since the EP came out,” says Kavanagh-Vincent on this transformation. The album delves into hope and longing across all possibilities, and this exploration of holding on and letting go is organically threaded throughout. Across ten songs, Phoebe Ring’s storytelling ranges from tongue-in-cheek musings on gentrification to tender autobiographical memories.
(May the falling light of faraway stars) / (Reach your fingertips and let you breathe),” Choi sings in the title track “Aseurai.” Imagined as a breezy track inspired by a 90’s Korean pop band, Choi discovered, when fleshing out the lyrics, that it was about yearning for people she couldn’t see anymore. In the old-school disco track, “Get Up,” Locke addresses struggles with mental health in a Matrix-inspired driven mantra: ‘Just get up / Just get up.’ The groove persists with ‘Fading Star,” a quirky ballad filled with steely jazz/rock guitar solos dedicated to a suburban aging musician. Kavanagh-Vincent’s lead single ‘Drifting’ is an unrequited celestial love song with bouncing bass and playful synths.
The band wrote, produced, and engineered the album across studios and band members’ homes in 2023/2024 in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland). It features mixing/mix production by local legend Jeremy Toy (Bic Runga, Aaradnha, Princess Chelsea) and mastering by Kelly Hibbert. With Aseurai, Phoebe Rings mark out a brilliant new constellation in their sky, bringing their individual compositions to the fore whilst seamlessly threading them into one celestial body – launching skyward on Carpark Records on June 6th 2025.
