Choir of Young Believers is the brainchild of Danish producer Jannis Noya Makrigiannis, who released This is for the White in Your Eyes in the last half of 2009. Two singles from the album have already been released, and a third, “Claustrophobia,” is on the way and will come packaged with some remixes, including one from Peter Silberman of The Antlers.
The original version is a slowly unfolding array of gentle synths and electronics of the minor chord persuasion. Silberman’s reworking speeds up the tempo and throws some crispy, clicky beats beneath Makrigiannis’ vocals, though the minimal nature of the track is largely kept intact. Listen to it right now.
This is for the White in Your Eyes is out on Ghostly. The single version of “Claustrophobia” will drop March 9.
