Rhine Gold

Double vinyl LP pressing. While This Is for the White in Your Eyes racked up overwhelmingly positive press, it can practically be seen as a soft launch for Choir of Young Believers' masterful 2012 album Rhine Gold. Now a proper band, the collaborative dynamic has imbued their sound with more authority and daring, inhabiting a wholly unique space where intimate Folk, classic Krautrock, big-sky Americana, avant-garde composition and bombastic theatricality seamlessly serve the same master. Like Choir's music, Jannis Noya Makrigiannis' powerful voice unifies the ambitious scope of Rhine Gold by sounding at once dolorous and magisterial.
