Биография

Lyla Foy is a British artist who performs intimate, melodic pop music. Beginning with scratchy kitchen recordings, her first EP, Shoestring came out in 2013 and sprung Lyla into the underground mainstream. Her first full length, Mirrors the Sky (Sub Pop) arrived in March 2014. Still unpolished but with a sureness and a resolve to stand firmly in her genre. Lyla toured the world supporting this release and while it mentally exhausted and caused her a lot of grief, it lead to some of her most beautiful work - UMi (October 2015). Next came Bigger Brighter (ingrooves) which arrived in September 2018. A charmingly messy collage of colour, emotions, places and people. Purposefully transitional and unapologetically unsettled. In March 2020, as the world was shutting down, Lyla was putting the finishing touches on her third full length album in Bristol with Ali Chant and long-time band members Andy Goodall and Hazel Tratt. Having been determined not to add any more people to the process everything bar drums and backing vocals was performed by herself. Videos were dreamed up and artwork emerged organically, with the help of her muse John H. Finally there was enough time to see things clearly without all the noise that created internal havoc. This album would be released without pretence, without mass promotion and every attention would be focused on the details of the release and the way it would make people feel when they heard it.
