William Doyle - Great Spans of Muddy Time (2021) [Hi-Res]

'Great Spans of Muddy Time' arrives just over a year after 'Your Wilderness Revisited', in spring 2021, as Doyle turns 30. In many ways it is the antithesis to 'Your Wilderness Revisited': Doyle's unique exploration of pop, art-rock, ambient and idiosyncratic compositions - married with a voice that deftly glides from tender restraint to soaring peaks - remains, but it's rawer and less polished now. 'It was liberating and felt like a nice tonic to how long the last album took and how much blood, sweat and tears went into it', he says.
