Rhine Gold (album)

Rhine Gold is the second studio album by Copenhagen-based Danish chamber pop band Choir of Young Believers, released in Europe on February 27, 2012, on Tigerspring and in the United States on March 20, 2012, on Ghostly International.

[2] Austin Trunick of Under the Radar praised the album, stating, "Rhine Gold manages to sound little like anything else that's arrived in recent years.

With lead singer Makrigiannis' aloof vocals daringly clearing trails through swaths of rich synthesizer and grandiose orchestral pop accompaniment, it stealthily slips into a sea of cool detachment rarely heard since David Bowie's Berlin period, particularly in the funky outsider vibe given off on Low.

Riveting and unpredictable across multiple plays, Choir of Young Believers has expanded upon the blueprint outlined on their well-crafted first album and channeled it into a sophomore release that's really outstanding.

"[12] Eric Harvey of Pitchfork Media gave the album a positive review, stating, "Choir of Young Believers have created a singular sonic world all their own.
