Just a year after his Mercury-nominated debut, William Doyle delivers his second East India Youth album.

The debonair Doyle experimentally brings together indie pop convention with a fascination for brutal techno and electronica to deal out an album sure to sweep listeners away with its intense, majestic beauty. Still working on his laptop from home, this record feels glossier and more coherent despite abrasive beats on tunes like Entirety awkwardly rubbing shoulders with the wistful faraway moods of Carousel.
