CHOIR OF YOUNG BELIEVERS share new Kasper Bjørke remix ahead of London show this week!
Album 'Grasque' out now via Ghostly Intl! With a London show this week, Copenhagen-based COYB shares new remix online now!
With new album Grasque out now via Ghostly International, Choir of Young Believers have unveiled a Kasper Bjørke remix of album standout track 'Perfect Estocada'. Choir of Young Believers will be playing a headline London show this week, on 2nd November, at Village Underground.
Speaking about the remix, Kasper Bjørke said "I have always loved COYB - especially the production and overall feeling on the latest album blew me away - so when I was asked to do a remix, I happily accepted. Working with the original parts, it became clear to me that I wanted to maintain a lot of the same instrumentation - but give it a more hypnotic and slow dancey feeling...
Somewhere along the way, I ended up leaving out most of the lead vocals because of technical time stretching issues - even though I absolutely adore Jannis voice..."

Choir of Young Believers also recently unveiled a new video for 'Perfect Estocada'.
Watch that below.
Grasque exhibits an array of complex influences and styles ranging from smoky jazz to experimental electronics to smouldering R&B sounds. The album’s title was in fact the name given by frontman Jannis Makrigiannis to the imaginary band he’d conjured up in his head whilst finding inspiration for the album. Though not his original intention, he soon realised that he could bring his new ideas and music together into a new Choir of Young Believers record. The result is confident and expansive, exploring a multitude of musical styles whilst retaining the integral components of Choir of Young Believers' sound.
