Lyla Foy (aka WALL) is a London songwriter and solo artist.
2012: Magazine
Foy released her debut single Magazine in September 2012 under her band's name, Wall.[1] Michael Cragg of the Guardian said of Foy, "You get the sense that even a whisper could overpower her soft coo of a voice."
2013: Shoestring & Easy
In March 2013, Foy released her debut EP Shoestring, named after the title track of the same name.[1] The EP also included the tracks Left to Wonder, Place Too Low and All Alone. Later in 2013 Foy released a double a-side called Easy/Head Down via the label Subpop.
In 2013, Foy dropped her stage name Wall for her real name, Lyla Foy. She explained, "At first I wanted something abstract to put some distance between me and the identity of the music, but as things grew I wanted to put my name to the songs not the other way round."[2]
2014: Mirrors The Sky
On 18 March 2014, Foy released her debut album, Mirrors The Sky, again with the label Subpop.[3] The album contained ten songs, including Honeymoon, I Only and No Secrets.[4]
