New album Year of the Black Water Rabbit arrives 05/05/23

Lyla Foy is a British artist who performs intimate, melodic pop music. Beginning with scratchy kitchen recordings, her first EP, Shoestring (released under alias WALL), came out in 2013 and sprung Lyla into the underground mainstream. 

 
Hot off the heals of Shoestring, after reverting back to her name, the first full length album, Mirrors the Sky (Sub Pop) arrived in March 2014. The sound was a continuation from her WALL material. Still unpolished but with a sureness and a resolve to stand firmly in her genre. Lyla toured the world supporting this release, sharing stages with bands including The National, Sharon Van Etten, Midlake and Fleet Foxes. It was mentally exhausting, and while the process and industry caused a lot of grief, it lead to some of her most beautiful work - UMi, a long EP which was released in October 2015. Not wanting to print more than a limited edition run to test the water - all physical copies sold out on the first day.

Retreating once more to form a new band, consisting mainly of women, to help realise a new vocal-heavy sound, Lyla emerged again, having finished an album written with then partner, Oli Deakin (Lowpines) and produced by Patrick Wimberly (Chairlift). This was Bigger Brighter (ingrooves) which arrived in September 2018.  A charmingly messy collage of colour, emotions, places and people. It purposefully represented transition and although tongue-in-cheek,  you could sense the seas were unsettled.

In March 2020, as 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 and virtual family Andy Goodall and Hazel Tratt. Having been determined not to add anymore people to the process, almost everything (bar drums and backing vocals) was performed by herself. While satisfying, it was insular, much like 2020 in its entirety. The months that followed did so in a daze. A new studio was created in a converted shepherds hut and a new home was made, out of the city. Videos were dreamed up and artwork emerged organically, with the help of her muse John H. Lyla finally had enough time to see things clearly without all the noise that normally created havoc in her mind. 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.

Initially conceived as a side project to the main musical endeavours of founding members Tom Hastings and Thomas Dale (2009’s indie folk darlings Goldheart Assembly and proto punk outfit Inner City Pirates respectively), Trip to Miami began crafting a slew of demo material and became regulars on London’s acoustic gig circuit in the late noughties.

The band solidified its three-piece lineup with the addition of Ai Sugiyama (of Ginger Wildheart and Hey! Hello! fame) on drums in 2014 and set to work on sculpting its now trademark alt-rock sound, influenced by artists from vintage fuzz rock specialists such as Neil Young and Husker Du to intelligent grunge pioneers Soundgarden. 

Trip to Miami’s debut album release, Pure-O, is the result of the resurrection of previously lost DIY recording sessions from the band, recorded over just two days in 2015. Revived, remixed and self-produced by the band, they officially released it in August 2018.

Based in London and Brighton, UK, and with years of live performances behind them, the band is very much focused on honing its craft in the studio, and is already working on the follow up to its debut album, to be released in 2019.
