East India Youth ‎– Culture Of Volume (2 LP)

The recorded-at-home follow-up to William Doyle’s Mercury prize-nominated debut, Total Strife Forever, finds this east London-based synth auteur on the verge of going the full A-ha. While still willing to flirt with other sonic textures – from the pristine coffee-table electronica of the album’s opening and closing tracks, through the sub-Underworld clatter of Entirety, to the Muse-meets-Erasure extravagance of Carousel – it’s with the brazen 80s electropop of Beaming White that his heart seems to lie. All that’s left for him to do now is to write his own Take on Me.
