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 and "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 Sub Pop.[3] The album contained ten songs, including "Honeymoon", "I Only" and "No Secrets".[4]

One of the songs, "Impossible", serves as the end credits music for the season one episode "Say Anything" of BoJack Horseman.
