Music has been evolving into a new era. A new flux of creativity, a mixxxxing of genres and talents, collaboration. A progression toward embracing influence and reference, all leaning heavily on what technology has made available. I don't really know what I'm talking about as more than anything beyond ...
Choir of Young Believers’ debut album, This Is for the White in Your Eyes , was one of my favorites from last year. "Claustrophobia," the third single from the album, includes remixes and covers from Sian Alice Group (The Social Registry) and Peter Silberman of The Antlers (Frenchkiss). media: Claustrophobia (Peter Antlers Remix) " "God Damn Your Fingers" video from KEXP's CMJ Sessions [...]
Föstudaginn 5. mars næstkomandi spila norðmennirnir í Casiokids og danirnir í Choir of Young Believers á Nasa við Austurvöll. Eins og flestir ættu að muna spiluðu báðar sveitirnar á síðustu Airwaves hátíð og var góður rómur gerður að tónleikahaldi þeirra. Íslensku sveitirnar Berndsen & The Young Boys og Sykur munu svo vera hinum skandinavísku frændum okkar til halds og trausts, en líkur eru á að enn fleiri nöfn bætist við dagskrána. Fyrir Airwaves í haust tók Rjóminn saman úrval laga frá Casiokids og Choir of Young Believers [...]
Choir of Young Believers udsendte sidste august deres debutalbum i USA via Ghostly Int. og nu er de klar med deres tredje single "over there" som er den fremragende Claustrophobia. På singlen finder man også 2 remixes af nummeret hvoraf det ene er begået af The Antlers' Peter Silberman. The Antlers fik sidste år et mindre gennembrud med deres tredje album Hospice der som titlen indikere er en sørgelig og deprimerende affære, som dog fandt vej til flrer top 10 lister sidste ligesom smagdommeren over dem alle Pitchfork uddelte en flot 8,5 karakter og [...]
Troisième single des danois Choir Of Young Believers extrait de leur premier LP 'This Is For The White In Your Eyes'. Peter Silberman des américains The Antlers s'est chargé d'assombrir un peu le tableau de Claustrophobia , qui malgré son titre est plutôt aéré. L'original : Silberman prend le titre du single à la lettre et ajoute un beat étouffé et étouffant. Comme une évidence... Choir Of Young Believers - Claustrophobia (Peter Antlers Remix) [...]
Jannis Noy Makrigiannis's Choir Of Young Believers landed here last summer with the billowing, widescreen orchestral pomp of Next Summer ," and extend the lifecycle of their This Is For The White In Your Eyes LP with a three-track release of "Claustrophobia." It comes packing the album track alongside its remix by the Antlers' Peter Silberman, and Sian Alice Group's take on another album track, "Winter Love." For COYB, Jannis's tenor is a selling point as much as it is a point of reference (see: Robin Pecknold), and the Antlers' redo of "Claustrophobia" preserves it wholesale save [...]
Thanks for stopping by the bakery - how 'bout some Danish? Get it? Like, a Danish is a popular breakfast item you might find in a non-musical bakery and the band, Choir of Young Believers, happens to be from Denmark. For the life of me, I can't remember how ...
Enjoy their outstanding rendition of 'Under The Moon' in the feature below. MP3: Choir Of Young Believers - Next Summer

Jannis Noya Makrigiannis' story is like that of so many other struggling musicians throughout the world. He left Copenhagen, Denmark in 2006 after his band fell apart, and spent lonely months on the Greek island of Samos writing music. What resulted was the Choir of Young Believers and something surely unlike much of the indie pop we've ever heard. The band has created a sound that is both deeply introverted and glaringly positive. Full of dark revelations and massive ambient orchestral movements, the group of Makrigiannis and a rotating cast of friends and [...]
Is it possible to fall in love with a band? If so then I'm kind of falling in love with Choir of Young Believers . A beautiful voice, arresting melodies and a knack with words, this 'choir' (which actually happens to be one person) has me singing its praises. COYB's Jannis Noya Makrigiannis' icy cool voice is as satisfying as a cup of hot cocoa next to a crackling fire. Irresistible, right? According to the Guardian , Jannis is "a 26-year-old of mixed Danish, Greek and Indonesian parentage, who performs and records either [...]
As icy autumn dew flickers off the patchy blades of malnourished grass on Shepherds Bush green, surrounded by the overbearing commercialism of Westfield shopping centre and colossal cinema complexes, a paralleled chillingly beautiful prospect awaits. In a frozen dressing room, guitarist extraordinaire of Danish cult overlords and perpetual outsiders Mew , Bo Madsen sprawls apprehensively over the sort of brown varnished sofa usually seen gracing the pavements of West London, as the heating finally surges through air vents overhead and distant sirens blare. Named allegedly after the noises gargled incomprehensibly by seagulls, as self-professed ‘extreme seagull enthusiasts’ they’re a [...]
Ok, volgende keer ga ik weer over iets heel stoers bloggen, maar dit klinkt zo mooi dat ik het niet kan laten liggen. Choir of Young Believers dus. Een Deense band met een deels variabele samenstelling. De harde kern bestaat in ieder geval uit songwriter Jannis Noya Makrigiannis. Die doet me qua stem toch vooral denken aan Jim James van My Morning Jacket. En dat wordt gewaardeerd. Click here to view the embedded video. Het album 'This is for the White in your Eyes' is nu uit, en als je [...]
Hope you enjoyed the Halloween episodes! They were a bit more fun to make than the usual weekly episodes, though also a bit more work. I think I doubled my lifetime whispering by doing the "voices"for those. Our two-year-old, Sydney, helped me do this one.

My first CMJ Music Marathon was a fun-tastic one. Most of my CMJ-ing was done @ Pianos, a great little venue on historic Ludlow St. I've discovered at least half a dozen promising new bands (Seven Saturdays, Warpaint, Deastro, Peggy Sue, Jeff The Brotherhood , Hurricane Bells, Pete & The Pirates, Choir Of Young Believers) which will [...]
Choir of Young Believers - Action/Reaction Choir of Young Believers is just one of those bands that has fun with their music. Having my alarm clock waking me up with this song just started me off on a good day. The music that this group produces is so organic. Listen to some of their other stuff and I’m sure it will put you in a great mood. Choir Of Young Believers – Next Summer Choir Of [...]

First off, the bad news: Jay Reatard has been canceled tonight at the El Rey. It’s old news at this point that his rhythm section quit, but in case you hadn’t heard, don’t go to the El Rey tonight and expect any Reatard action. … Now for some good news — Swedish synthsters the Sounds take over the Wiltern tonight for the first of two nights, but they’ll have to clean up after L.A, dance-rock stalwarts Moving Units and the punk rock-meets-Queen bombast of Foxy Shazam (pictured) first. Look [...]

Just as with prior CMJ and SXSW previews, we listed only one show for each recommended band. Most of the bands listed here are playing several – if [...]
