Well, this is pretty exciting.<\/p>\n

Their midwife duties over, The Quietus<\/a> have handed custody of ‘genius toddler’\u00a0Will Doyle – pka East India Youth<\/a> – \u00a0to Stolen Recordings<\/a>, who will release his debut album in early 2014, sandwiched between two soon-to-be-announced singles and fuck it, I’m just going to quote from the press release:<\/p>\n

“East India Youth\u2019s outstanding debut EP \u2018Hostel\u2019 (the only release to date) has already intrigued many and earned plaudits from all directions \u2013 illustrating as it does a remarkable mastery of genres and imaginative song structures combined with a solid pop sensibility and the introduction of a significant new voice.\u00a0 It was released on The Quietus Phonographic Corporation<\/a> label, set up expressly in order to release the EP immediately after the Quietus\u2019 John Doran first heard it, having been handed a CDR at a gig by Will.”<\/p>\n

Being released by The Quietus is like being born – in a villa on the north west coast of Mallorca – as sole heir to an unfeasibly large fortune. One could not hope for a better start to life. Luke and John fought for Will and the ‘Hostel’ EP like it was a fight for their lives and it is a debt we can never repay<\/p>\n
