There’s an innocence and delicacy about London singer-songwriter Lyla Foy’s voice, even when it’s ŵrapped up in echo and draped over a tingling Cocteau Twins backing, such as in Right To Be, taken from her upcoming EP UMI, the follow up to last years Mirrors the Sky.
It’s a shadowy and lo-Fi affair, but the melody cuts through the fog and hits you where it hurts. Take a listen.
UMI will be released through Sub Pop digitally on 2nd October and vinyl copies, featuring an exclusive bonus track Blue Door.
