About William Doyle
Artist Biography
Known by the moniker East India Youth before recording under his own name, William Doyle takes influence from Krautrock, London club music, psychedelic pop, and more on his idiosyncratic art rock releases, in addition to recording several Brian Eno-influenced ambient works. He combined elements of all of these genres with his full-length recording debut, 2014's Total Strife Forever by East India Youth. The album received a Mercury Music Prize nomination, and Doyle made one more record under the alias before deciding to change up his sound and record under his own name. A handful of ambient instrumental albums followed over the next several years (later collected on Slowly Arranged: 2016-2019) before he presented a series of psychedelic-leaning art rock albums that reintroduced Doyle's voice, including the compositional Your Wilderness Revisited (2019), the more cinematic Great Spans of Muddy Time (2021), and the ironically playful Springs Eternal (2024).
