████ spans-of-muddy-time ████
████ ████
████ Great Spans of Muddy Time is the fourth album ████
████ from Mercury Music Prize nominated artist ████
████ William Doyle, and the second under his own ████
████ name (having dropped his earlier East India ████
████ Youth moniker). Born from accident but driven ████
████ forward by instinct, the album was built from ████
████ the remains of a catastrophic hard-drive ████
████ failure. With his work saved only to cassette ████
████ tape, Doyle was forced to accept the recordings ████
████ as they were û a sharp departure from his ████
████ process on the previous record, 2019Æs Your ████
████ Wilderness Revisited, which he spent four long ████
████ years honing toward perfection. (Line of Best ████
████ Fit described it as ôa dazzlingly beautiful ████
████ triumph of intentionö and Metro declared it an ████
████ album not only of the year, but ôof the ████
████ centuryö.) ████
████ ████
████ ôIt 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,ö Doyle ████
████ says of Great Spans. ôInstead of feeling a loss ████
████ that I could no longer craft these pieces into ████
████ flawless æWorks of ArtÆ, I felt intensely ████
████ liberated that they had been set free from my ████
████ ceaseless tinkering.ö These unedited, often ████
████ improvised pieces, free from fine-tuning, ████
████ plunged him into uncharted waters. What remains ████
████ is DoyleÆs unique exploration of pop, art-rock, ████
████ ambient and idiosyncratic compositions, married ████
████ with a voice that deftly glides from tender ████
████ restraint to soaring peaks, but its expression ████
████ is rawer and less polished now. ████
████ ████
████ Lead single ôAnd Everything Changed (But I Feel ████
████ Alright)ö is representative of the album as a ████
████ whole: eclectic and unpredictable, but also ████
████ playful and properly danceable. On top of the ████
████ gently pulsing electronics, soothing harmonies ████
████ and glowing melodies, thereÆs a ripping guitar ████
████ solo that ricochets around the song like a ████
████ pinball. ôI wanted to get back into the craft ████
████ of writing individual songs rather than being ████
████ concerned with overarching concepts,ö Doyle ████
████ says. Elsewhere thereÆs the synth pop strut of ████
████ ôNothing At Allö, pulsating static on ôSemi- ████
████ Bionicö, incandescent synths and enveloping ████
████ soundscapes in ôWho Caresö, and the ambient ████
████ glitch groove of ôNew Uncertaintiesö. ████
████ ████
████ ôThe album this turned out to be û and that ████
████ IÆve wanted to make for ages û is a kind of ████
████ Englishman-gone-mad, scrambling around the ████
████ verdancy of the countryÆs pastures looking for ████
████ some sense,ö says Doyle. ôIt has its seeds in ████
████ Robert Wyatt, early Eno, Robyn Hitchcock, and ████
████ Syd Barrett.ö Doyle credits BowieÆs ever- ████
████ influential Berlin trilogy, but also highlights ████
████ a much less expected muse: Monty Don, presenter ████
████ of the BBC programme GardenerÆs World, DoyleÆs ████
████ lockdown addiction. ████
████ ████
████ ôI became obsessed with Monty Don. I like his ████
████ manner and there's something about him I relate ████
████ to. He once described periods of depression in ████
████ his life as consisting of ænothing but great ████
████ spans of muddy timeÆ. When I read that quote I ████
████ knew it would be the title of this record,ö ████
████ Doyle says. ôSomething about the sludgy mulch ████
████ of the albumÆs darker moments, and its feel of ████
████ perpetual autumnal evening, seemed to fit so ████
████ well with those words. I would also be lying if ████
████ I said it didnÆt chime with my mental health ████
████ experiences as well.ö ████
████ ████
████ Fittingly, the albumÆs artwork also appeared ████
████ fully formed, like manna from heaven. While ████
████ searching the archive of the Rijksmuseum in ████
████ Amsterdam, something caught DoyleÆs eye. ôI saw ████
████ this painting which was totally, completely ████
████ different to what I had been looking for,ö he ████
████ says of Melchior d'HondecoeterÆs 17th century ████
████ scene of water birds. ôI had such a visceral ████
████ reaction to it. I carried on searching for ████
████ weeks, but kept coming back to this one. ████
████ Picking the artwork has mirrored the whole ████
████ process: trying so hard to make the perfect ████
████ thing when really it was just sitting there the ████
████ whole time. It gave the record its identity and ████
████ solidified it.ö ████
████ ████
████ Great Spans of Muddy Time is a beautiful ode to ████
████ the power of accident, instinct and intuition. ████
████ The result, however, is far from an anomaly: ████
████ this celebration of the imperfect album is one ████
████ that required years of honed craft and ████
████ dedicated focus to achieve, ôFor the first time ████
████ in my career, the distance between what I hear ████
████ and what the listener hears is paper-thin,ö ████
████ Doyle says. ôPerhaps therein reveals a deeper ████
████ truth that the perfectionist brain can often ████
████ dissolve.ö ████
