Culture of Volume is the second album by the British electronic musician East India Youth, released 6 April 2015 on XL Recordings.[4]

Production

[edit]

Culture of Volume is the first East India Youth album released by the Richard Russell-owned label XL Recordings.[5] Most of the production and the recording was completed in William Doyle's home in London.[6] According to Doyle, the album's name comes from a fragment of a verse in Rick Holland's poem 'Monument'.[7] Culture of Volume was mixed by Doyle and Graham Sutton, and the album artwork was made by Dan Tombs.

Release

[edit]

XL Recordings announced in late January that Culture of Volume was scheduled to be released on 6 April in Europe, and 7 April in the US. Besides digital download, the album is pressed in limited 100 signed vinyl and 50 signed CDs.[7] On 3 February, Doyle shared the song "Carousel" with his fans on Twitter,[8] describing it as a very important song to him personally.[9]
