William Doyle is putting East India Youth into hibernation for the foreseeable future.

The Mercury nominated act – whom Live4ever sat down with at last year’s South By Southwest Festival – has detailed his current state of mind in a long post on his official website.

“Although ‘Total Strife Forever’ came out in January 2014, the lion’s share of work on the album was mostly completed back in August 2012 and then the sessions for ‘Culture Of Volume’ – which came out in April 2015 – started immediately after that,” he’s written.

“This is why the two albums came out so close to each other, but in actuality about two years worth of work was done on each before they were ready for wider consumption. As such, these periods of creativity and promotion have fed and bled into each other to the point where I find it hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.”

“I’ve been to so many places and met so many people in this time that it’s hard to truly comprehend and remain calm about it. So perhaps it’s time for a break.”
