Following recent support slots alongside Holly Humberstone and Hatchie, Australian artist Phoebe Go, the solo project of Phoebe Lou (Snakadaktal, Two People), today unveils her debut EP, Player.
Throughout ‘Player’, Phoebe poses questions of purpose: through career, relationships, and existence. It’s an undiluted, personal introduction to who Phoebe is and her experiences, and sees the project come to terms with the intimidating question of “going solo” and facing one’s fears in a decade-long career. This re-learning of her craft alone, is best highlighted in the new focus track ‘Be The Player, Not The Poet’.
With guitar-led arrangements and gentle ethereal vocals, Phoebe’s string of singles ‘Hey’, ‘The Kid’and triple j breakthrough ‘We Don’t Talk’, praised across triple j Unearthed, Double J, NME, NOTION, tmrw, Wonderland and more, posed as dynamic displays of the full-bodied and wholly realised acoustic world Phoebe debuts in full with Player.
Vulnerable, sincere and gut-wrenchingly honest, unlike anything Phoebe has shared before, Player is a heartfelt project that, at its core, is full of hope. The process of finding her voice as a solo artist has been, as described by Phoebe herself, daunting, but it has also set her free.
