After the breakup of band Lake Placid, guitaris Jannis Noya Makrigiannis moved to the Greek Island of Samos in 2006 to begin the solo project that would eventually become Choir of Young Believers. The band has a large rotation amongst its members, and with an eclectic range of backgrounds and musical tastes, the resulting sound is an expansive and cinematic take on pop. The band’s latest album Grasque was released in February of 2016.
