Having graduated from his early, Mercury Music Prize-nominated incarnation as East India Youth, William Doyle has since emerged under his own name as one of the most experimental and exciting British songwriters and world builders working today. His most recent records, 2021’s art-pop masterpiece ‘Great Spans of Muddy Time’ (10/10 Loud & Quiet, 9/10 Line of Best Fit, 4/5 Mojo, 8/10 Uncut, 5th The Quietus 100 Albums of the Year) and 2019’s dizzyingly ambitious ‘Your Wilderness Revisited’ drew comparisons to Radiohead and Brian Eno and claimed their place on end of year lists, with the Metro ranking the latter “among the best albums of the century”. This year’s album ‘Springs Eternal’ is Doyle’s most ambitious, dynamic and immediate record yet.
