Listen: East India Youth Shares New Track, ‘Dripping Down’

2014’s bound to contain a gazillion exciting releases, but it’s getting off to a particularly good start with the help of East India Youth and his debut ‘Total Strife Forever’, which is out in early January.

The project of William Doyle, it’s an album that’s taken three years to complete. Doyle himself claims that he was ‘succumbing to desperation’ after ‘reaching my breaking point’ when it came to completely the album. This, on top of the title, give hint of a troubling, emotionally wrung-out debut. ‘Dripping Down’ confounds this though, with a bittersweet track that could - at points - be described as a semi-euphoric triumph. It’s definitely the closest Doyle’s come to sounding like he’s just stepped out of a south London nightclub.

East India Youth’s ‘Total Strife Forever’ is released on 13th January via Stolen Recordings.
