Phoebe Lou is an Australian singer and songwriter from Melbourne. She was a founding member of indie pop band Snakadaktal from 2010, where she sang and played synthesiser, before forming dream pop group Two People with former bandmate Joey Clough. In 2022, she began releasing music as Phoebe Go, and issued her first solo EP, Player. Her first album, Marmalade, was released in 2024.
Early life and career
Phoebe Lou grew up in Melbourne and started songwriting at 11 years old, finding inspiration from her father's favourite artists, Johnny Cash and Lou Reed, which made a "huge impact on [her] sense of self and the idea of expression and the freedom in it."[3]
Lou began playing in the indie pop band Snakadaktal at 15 years old, while she was in high school.[4] The band's debut extended play (EP), released in 2011, reached number 26 on the ARIA Charts.[4] Snakadaktal disbanded in 2014.
In 2016, Lou and former bandmate Joey Clough formed the duo Two People, and released two studio albums, First Body in 2019, followed by Second Body in 2020.[4][5]
Lou released her first solo single, "We Don't Talk", in May 2022.[6] She issued her debut five-track EP, Player, that October, which features delicate harmonies and a more stripped-back sound which compliments more introspective lyrics.[7][1]
In May 2024, Lou released her first solo album, Marmalade, via AWAL.[8] Writing for The AU Review, Pace Proctor described the eight-track record as a "shimmering, alt-pop genre fusion built on shuffling drums, simple yet effective guitar riffs, and cruising vocals."[2]
