Denmark’s Jannis Noya Makrigiannis is the brainchild behind Choir of Young Believers–an experimental blend of orchestral reverb and indie-pop. His album, This Is For the Whites in Your Eyes, is a cathedral of sound, with choral echoes bouncing off high ceilings. Yet he manages to create this sound without seeming preachy or grandiloquent. There’s something humbly supernatural about it. Other-worldly, though appealing in a Fleet-Foxes-on-vicodin kind of way. The entire album is like a holy confession and generally blurs together. It does however shine when it strays from its norm in songs like “Action/Reaction” and “She walks.” Essentially, the songs worth knowing are linked below. Peace be with you.
