EAST INDIA YOUTH

“TOTAL STRIFE FOREVER is an astonishingly bold and inventive record. It’s no exaggeration to suggest that this is the first potentially great album of 2014”  – Clash Magazine, 9/10

“The first masterpiece of 2014.”  – The Sunday Times, Album of The Month

“A richly impressive debut, which sounds like the great lost album that Brian Wilson, Eno and Björk should have made together. A major new British talent is born .”  – Uncut, 9/10

“Hurtling between cerebral electronica, vulnerable pop and gonzoid techno, it locates a broken but still-beating heart within metallic machine music. East India Youth’s debut is a triumph.”  – Mojo, 4/5, and Mojo Rising feature

“A volume of brutally cold, industrial, electronic schizophrenia that’s as bleak as you’d expect from the title. I love this record.”  – Vice, 10/10, Album of The Month

“A hugely self-assured debut from an artist who knows exactly what he’s doing, confident enough to leap from out-and-out pop to icy ambience to pounding acid house to unsettling experimentation, marking Doyle out as a rare, idiosyncratic talent.”  – The Guardian, Breakthrough of 2014

“Doyle’s dizzying arpeggios inspire a sense of awe. In synth-pop, his debut is as good as it gets.”  – Q Magazine, 4/5

“A remarkable album of astonishing scope and beauty.”  – The Skinny, 5/5 and cover feature

“A genuinely ambitious statement of intent from an artist who clearly has no qualms whatsoever about blurring genre boundaries.”  – Loud & Quiet, 8/10

“Its legend is well-deserved: a brilliant bedroom album of piercing electronic pop”  – Time Out, Album of The Week

“This is a brutal electronic album, but one that still retains a very humanistic core. Over eleven tracks you’ll hear acid beats, euphoric electronic pop, ambient passages, drone, Krautrock and more. What’s incredible is how East India Youth has managed to bring all of these elements together and construct a cohesive record, something truly extraordinary.”  – The 405, 9/10

“What really sets TOTAL STRIFE FOREVER apart is Doyle’s vocal ability. An impressively ambitious debut.”  – Record Collector, 4/5

“A staggering first full length effort. TOTAL STRIFE FOREVER is that scarcest of things; a masterly record which walks a unpredictable line musically yet remains entirely consistent in quality. A startling album, and one that will continue to burn brightly long after the embers of 2014 have burnt out.”  – Drowned in Sound, 9/10

“East India Youth’s debut is abrasive, complicated and demanding, ambitious and absorbing, and still probably only a glimpse of what Doyle is capable of.”  – The Fly, 3.5/5

“All of Doyle’s ideas seem fully formed and meld together perfectly, which given the ground they cover is quite the achievement. Innovative, cerebral and yet totally accessible, TOTAL STRIFE FOREVER is an incredibly impressive record. A glorious thing”  – This is Fake DIY, 4/5

“William Doyle as East India Youth has delivered a stunningly exquisite work on his very first go.”  – MusicOMH, 4.5/5

“This is a record that is striking in its originality. A challenging, unique work.”  – Drunken Werewolf

“His aural alchemy transcends a multitude of genres: ambient drone, synthpop, acid, goth-house and Krautrock, alien, but addictive, electronic carnage. TOTAL STRIFE FOREVER is breathtaking.”  – The Line of Best Fit, Album of The Week, 9/10

“A brilliant bedroom album of piercing electronic pop finally sees the light of day.”  – Time Out, Album of The Week, 4/5
