Product Description Even though This Is for the Whites in Your Eyes, the full-length debut by Danish collective Choir of Young Believers, is teeming with instruments voices, pianos, synthesizers, banjos, an orchestra s ransom in strings and French horns it s not the arrangements that dominate so much as the images they conjure. Snow-flecked mountaintops, deserted city streets, ghost-filled churches, a final kiss between estranged lovers this is the emotional terrain trod by Jannis Joya Makrigiannis and his Choir of Young Believers. This Is for the Whites in Your Eyes is an album of orchestral indie-pop, but its artistic scope extends beyond melody and harmony: Choir of Young Believers paint cinematic tableaux, with Jannis cast as the silvery voiced narrator. Full length CD includes bonus CD EP Burn The Flag Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsAmbitious, Grandly Scaled Indie Pop Debut RadioNDN | Midwestern USA | 09/27/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "This Is For The White In Your Eyes, the new album from Denmark based band Choir Of Young Believers, is one of those ambitious, grandly scaled albums of indie pop that might've ended up silly and overwrought in lesser hands, but instead turned out to be a moody, serious minded, sometimes even sublime collection of music The band has earned some Radiohead comparisons, though I imagine mostly for the lead vocals, which do recall Thom Yorke at times. Musically, however, they have more of a folk foundation, upon which they layer orchestral pop, soul and rock. Their musical influences certainly shine through, but it's the execution of the music that's the real draw here. It's consistently, almost hypnotically good, with many of the tracks flowing into each other. Certainly recommended for indie pop fans, but for everyone, really. Standout cuts: "Hollow Tree," "Next Summer," "Action/Reaction" and "Claustrophobia.""
