After an eternity of not posting, I’m back, and a lot of it has to do with groups like this that have gotten me excited again to share some sweet tunes with the blogging world. Choir of Young Believers are a Danish group fronted by Jannis Noya Makrigiannis, and while his voice bears a resemblance to Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold, the music takes a much more orchestral approach. Their debut album, This is for the White in Your Eyes, ranges from haunting and spare to sweeping orchestral flourishes, and does it all with a great pop sensibility. It’s easily my favorite musical discovery of the last few months, and I can see myself listening to it often for a long time. Check out the first two singles to get a taste, but I can say the whole album is well worth your time.
