Lyla sang
with a subtle haunting country voice her memorable songs along with her backing
band. She sang with a dreamy ethereal,
other worldly and even slightly hippy-ish look and feel to her music and look.
Her voice is
pure and direct over a steady beat. There
were some shades of Christine McVie's
melodic tones with the subtleness of Lana Del Rey and The XX in there too,
as she mixes some folk with a more contemporary feel.
Her songs
have quiet reflective themes. Notable
songs were Easy, Feather Tongue and Left
To Wonder.

I hoped she
didn’t feel let down that some mates of the support band had already left before her set - fans of one artist should also support the other artists. It
matters not the size of an audience but about impressing those who are there
and the seasoned performers know this only too well!
In 2013 the London singer songwriter put
out her music under the pseudonym the WALL and her song No Secrets was well received by both BBC radio and the music
website Pitchfork. Her single Magazine has good drama.
She also put
out 2 pretty nifty covers - Something on
my Mind by Karen Dalton and Where Did
Our Love Go, sung by The Supremes.

I might wish
to hear more meat or edge come through at times in her sound though - to offer
more dynamic range and moods to her intimate music.
She is a
rising new artist now signed to Sub Pop records …. some artists slip quietly
under our radar and Foy is one of them. .
She is
currently doing a UK and US
small venue tour and has released her debut album titled Mirrors The Sky in which
she recorded her vocals outside in fields and on beaches. . .http://www.lylafoy.com/
