East India Youth

“I’ve learnt how to do stuff in the bedroom without any formal training.” Dec 04, 2013 By Dan Lucas Web Exclusive Few artists can have made left turns quite so dramatically as William Doyle. Two years ago I saw him live as the frontman of Doyle & The Fourfathers, a kind of ‘90s revivalist pop outfit; earlier this year, though, under the moniker of East India Youth, he released the Hostel EP, a record of dizzyingly vast electronic soundscapes that owed more to Krautrock than Britpop. Under the Radar caught up with Doyle in his native London and discussed the change in sound, being the first artist with a release on The Quietus Phonographic Corporation label, and going solo in the bedroom.
