Thank you for this, Lyla. You're doing so well ♡

Interesting - very different from your earlier acoustic-based material. Kinda like the pop groove and the hard percussion

Two Fires

I'll be baby ill be a place where you can leave your things
ill have a lock on my door only you can open, falling apart
ill be baby ill be the perfect kind of sad that you can eat
ill be baby ill be a warm kind of mad at everything
ill hold my tongue when I am speaking out of turn
and then it'll all be silent, sober skies, and birds on their own wires

birds they just fall out of the sky
their wings get tired

birds they just fall out of the sky
people fall in love and people die

As Above So Below

The Cure

A little while ago I was watching an amazing documentary on volcanos. So alien. So beautiful. So destructive.

Anyway, suffering from a shortened attention span due to pandemic lockdown, about half way through I turned off the volume and started messing with some synth sounds while watching. This is the result. Just some alien textures, a bit of trance without being trance maybe.

It is obviously very influenced by early 1970s synth musicians like Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Schulze, etc. I love that period of time. 

Unfortunately, I think the sound quality was much better before uploading to SoundCloud, but it is still OK. Maybe a bit quiet. 

Hope you enjoy

Head Cheese - Jungle Jam (1982)

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.

2 April 2021 sees 'Fornever' finally arrive </3
