Choir of Young Believers@ Privat Club 30.1.2010
 The seven members representing the
Choir of Young Believers at Privat Club on Saturday night filled the
narrow stage. While it was packed full of instruments ranging from the
basic bass and guitar to a cello, a horn and a second percussionist,
there was no constraint to the expanse of sound that surged out of this
group of musicians. Each note of each song was so painstakingly and
carefully placed; the music slid into every crack in the club and
wrapped the audience in a blanket of resonance and emotion. The
delicacy of the individual notes was ironically juxtaposed with the
strength and power of the song as a whole.
Choir of Young Believers not only presented the haunting and gratifying
tracks featured on their first full-length "This is for the white in
your eyes," but a few new songs were slipped into the set. A couple of
these incorporated a more evident eastern influence, entrancing
melodies which contrasted nicely with the orchestral power of the
earlier songs. The exposure to these new songs was one of multiple
factors that made the concert experience so rewarding. Additionally,
CoYB went beyond the ritual of playing the songs as they can be heard
on the album by expertly interweaving jams and twists in the music.
"Claustrophobia" and "Hollow Talk" were especially powerful in this
regard.
I discovered after the show that the name of the band was chosen because the combination of the words sounded so nice together. In any case, this idea can certainly extend to their music. Each song has its own personality and authority; the arrangement of every one goes beyond simply being ‘nice' to a realm of beauty and elegance.
