"A Piece Of Heaven ... Tender folk meets grandiose prog-pop ... Beautiful – like a forest dressed in the colours of Fall." The Guardian
Denmark's Choir of Young Believers is the folky, baroque-poppy, orchestral solo project of 26-year-old Jannis Nova Makrigiannis, plus a rotating cast of additional members. Their first full-length, 2008's This is For the White in Your Eyes was nominated for 6 Danish Music Awards, winning 'Best New Act.' Already garnering several Number 1 hits back home, the group went on to play at 2008's Roskilde festival and 2009's SXSW festival . They have been gaining accolades ever since, with similarities drawn to Neil Young and Fleet Foxes while simultaneously being lauded for their fierce individuality. Meanwhile, over here in China, COYB have been building up a base of disciples, who have helped propel them to the Number 1 artist slot on Douban this summer, with 40,000 plays and counting. This September is the chance for fans to catch COYB live in China. It's gonna be huge.
