Description
Its nearly a decade since William Doyle handed a CD-R demo to the Quietus co-founder John Doran at a gig, who loved it so much he set up a label to release Doyles debut EP (as East India Youth). Doyles debut album, Total Strife Forever, followed in 2014, as did a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize. A year later, he was signed to XL, touring the world and about to release his second album all by the age of 25. After self-releasing four ambient and instrumental albums, Doyles third full-length record and the first under his own name Your Wilderness Revisited arrived to ecstatic reviews in 2019: Line of Best Fit described it as a dazzlingly beautiful triumph of intention and Metro declared it an album not only of the year, but of the century. Just over a year later, as he turns 30, Doyle is back with Great Spans of Muddy Time. The album this turned out to be and that Ive wanted to make for ages is a kind of Englishman-gone-mad, scrambling around the verdancy of the countrys pastures looking for some sense, says Doyle. It has its seeds in Robert Wyatt, early Eno, Robyn Hitchcock, and Syd Barrett.
