Stereogum has released Choir Of Young Believers new single “Serious Lover” which is available via SoundCloud and posted below. The track is from the bands forthcoming album Grasque out on February 19.
Stereogum described the song as, “Structured around syncopated beats and stuttering synths, ‘Serious Lover’ is an introspective journey into a band reborn into the dimensions of filtered, tinkered-with pop music. It has an ambient, almost choral feel to it — fitting given the band name — with Makrigiannis’ haunting vocals shimmering alongside grandiose, jazzy instrumentation.”
Choir Of Young Believers frontman Jannis Noya Makrigiannis spoke about the album:
I must admit, one of the things I worried about was ‘What will people think?’ With almost all of these songs, I had been in doubt. Some, I felt, were too poppy, others too experimental — some didn’t even feel like songs, but more like trips, or feelings. Some even had Danish and Greek lyrics. But now, it’s all Choir of Young Believers to me, and it feels great to have pushed the walls around the band, giving it a bit more space. It’s weird for me to think about all that doubt — ‘Could I do this? Could I do that?’ I mean, it’s my f*cking band. I can do what I want with it. Right?
The album will be out on February 19 and the full track list is posted below.
