I came across Brighton four-piece Thyla a few weeks ago by chance, as you do, as I was reading a blog on which Juanita's "America" was reviewed.
They are:
Millie Duthie (vocals/guitar)
Danny Southwell (drums)
Mitch Duce (guitar)
Dan Hole (bass)
To me there's hints of The Church's Marty Willson-Piper in the guitars and Altered Images' Clare Grogan and sometimes Kirsty McColl in the vocals; there's certainly something 80s going on there.

Here's what hiddenhred.com writes about Thyla:
“It seems like there’s something in the water in Brighton, with an endless production line of exciting new bands bursting out of the city’s vibrant music scene. Add Thyla to the esteemed list of brilliant newcomers. The four-piece’s musical concoction is comprised of dreamy guitars, euphoric refrains and brooding ethereal atmospherics, which collide to make dark guitar-pop anthems that sound like the meeting point between The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Cocteau Twins and more recent London exports Pumarosa.”

It’s only a matter of time before Brighton quartet Thyla reach the same level of popularity as fellow UK indie stars Wolf Alice. In the nearly 2.5 years since the release of their debut single, “Betty”, they’ve slowly built a cult following, which includes us. Could 2018 be the turning point for this band? We sure hope so. To get the momentum rolling, they’ve released a scintillating single with “Tell Each Other Lies”.
As evidence of how far they’ve come and how limitless their potential is, the song was premiered by Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1 the other day, and it’s easy to understand why the popular radio host wanted to be the first to share the song to the world. Whereas many Thyla’s previous singles were of the explosive and blistering variety, “Tell Each Other Lives” is an exhilarating and wistful number that sounds right out of the late ’80s. It is a mélange of dream pop and synth-rock taken to extraordinary heights, where you are left breathless at what these four young Brits have created. Like an exquisite work of art, you want to see it once again. Or in this case, play and experience this dazzling masterpiece over and over again.
