Fullà-Silvestre released her debut EP, Habits, as NOIA in October 2016. Among its songs, "Nostalgia del Futuro" is about idealizing a future that can never arrive. Its video was directed by Laura Martinova in Barcelona's historic neighborhoods.[1] Fullà-Silvestre released her second EP, Crisàlida (Catalan for "chrysalis"),[3] on Cascine in May 2019.[4] The four-track EP was among Stereogum's favorites in 2019[5] and two of its tracks, "Ausencias" and "Ciudad del Humo", were among its top tracks of the week.[4][6] "Ciudad del Humo" was released with a video.[4] The album is based on feelings of "heartbreak for what didn't happen" and "feeling trapped" in New York City.[7]
