EAST INDIA YOUTH.
The first signing to the new record label from music
website The Quietus, William Doyle is a Bournemouth
multi-instrumentalist who mashes electronica,
Krautrock and folk to shiver-inducing ends. Named
after a dockland district in his hometown, as East
India Youth Doyle has sloughed off what he describes
as an unfortunate back history in meat and veg
guitar rock in favour of an altogether more eclectic
sound. "It was rubbish," he says of his early career,
"playing with hundreds of Oasis-y, laddy, pubby
rock bands.
"Brian Eno's Another Green World is one of my favourite
albums, I like his mid-‘70s stuff," he adds, explaining
the influences behind forthcoming debut Total
Strife Forever. NOT a dig at Foals, he insists. “The
guy has shaped music more than any one person,
I reckon, and I love, coming from that, the Berlinperiod
Bowie, Heroes and Low, especially the second
halves of those records, where they go into the
instrumental stuff, that was a big influence. Fuck
Buttons were a big thing, I've listened to them quite
a lot over the last couple of years, that's been a
revelation. Shostakovich as well."
