{{main|Autumn Flow|Doorways of My Mind}}
In 2000, Lior released his debut extended play ''The Soul Suicide EP''.
In October 2004, Lior recorded his debut studio album ''[[Autumn Flow]]''. He sent it to a number of record labels but failed to secure a deal, and released the album independently, late in 2004. In 2015, Lior recalled the first time he heard a song of his on the radio station, [[Triple J]]; "I'd just done the so-called tour to launch the album but it didn't have any sort of exposure or radio play, so no-one really knew what it was. I went up and down the east coast with a band and lost all my money. I was feeling really defeated and quite sorry for myself, going 'how am I going to do this', and the song ("This Old Love") came on."<ref name="G&H">{{cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-06-30/giggle-and-hoot-lullaby-my-most-popular-song-says-lior/6583134|date=3 August 2015|title=Giggle and Hoot lullaby 'the most popular song I've ever written' says Lior|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Commission|first=Simon Leo|last=Brown|access-date=19 February 2020}}</ref>
