Formed in 2006 by <a href="spotify:artist:0UPoz8Qt0tOd44TL3X6Gfb">Lake Placid</a> guitarist Jannis Noya Makrigiannis as a solo project, Denmark's Choir of Young Believers rely on a rotating cast of musicians to flesh out their acoustic-based, grandiose indie pop. The Danish-Greek-Indonesian Makrigiannis' myriad influences first appeared on the group's debut EP for the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Tigerspring%22">Tigerspring</a> label. Released in 2007, Burn the Flag found success on the Danish charts and was soon re-released nationally to critical acclaim. The band's first studio long-player, This Is for the White in Your Eyes, was issued via <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Tigerspring%22">Tigerspring</a> in 2008; it was nominated for six Danish Music Awards and won in the Best New Act category. 2009 saw Choir of Young Believers ink a U.S. deal with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Ghostly+International%22">Ghostly International</a>, which released their debut stateside later that year. The group's sophomore full-length outing, Rhine Gold, arrived in 2012, followed in 2016 by Grasque, both on the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Ghostly%22">Ghostly</a> label. Jannis Noya Makrigiannis died near the end of 2022 after a brief illness; his representatives revealed his passing on January 5, 2023. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
