    Mirror's In The Sky's bewitching yet minimal folktronica [is] dominated by the most rudimentary of beats and weird little keyboards. [Apr 2014, p.109]

    If you’re hankering for a bit of masochistic pop, Mirrors The Sky will soothe the craving. And then destroy you.

    Throughout Mirrors the Sky, Lyla Foy's warm and comforting voice remains the focus.

    Mirrors the Sky reflects a subtle yet effective refinement of her sound, as she tweaks these elements and influences to create music that is both familiar and idiosyncratic.

    This strong debut points to even stronger, more focused work from Foy down the line.

    Occasionally you might seek more variety in the tones and washes, but Foy has worked hard to create something that feels of a piece, and there’s no denying the talent at play here.

    It may be a little too restrained in places, but this is a quietly confident debut. [Apr 2014, p.74]

    As "Feather Tongue" definitively establishes, it's Foy's voice--hushed and mellow enough for this synth-pop era, but also stirring and dexterous enough to transcend it—that can flourish in and even transform any sonic environment or genre simulacrum.
