William Doyle, better known by his stage name East India Youth, is an electronic musician from Bournemouth, England. His first album, Total Strife Forever, was released by Stolen Recordings on 13 January 2014. It was nominated for the 2014 Barclaycard Mercury Music Prize Album of the Year award.[4]
The name East India Youth derives from the East India Docks area in East London, where Doyle lived during the writing of Total Strife Forever, an album influenced by Tim Hecker, Brian Eno and Harold Budd. And the Youth part: "That's because this place was the start of something new for me; I was creatively reborn". The flat he shared was also colloquially known as the 'youth hostel', owing to friends – and friends of friends – staying over on a regular basis. It's for this reason his first EP was titled 'Hostel'. Doyle was previously lead singer of indie band Doyle and the Fourfathers.
On 27 January 2015, it was announced that William had signed with XL Recordings and that his second album would be called, Culture of Volume. The album was released on 6 April 2015, the name of the album comes from a fragment of verse from the poem 'Monumant' by Richard Holland.
