Our Take

Ah, Julie Byrne, the ethereal folk goddess gracing us with her hauntingly beautiful melodies on her latest offering, The Greater Wings. Like a gentle breeze on a summer's day, Byrne's voice effortlessly floats through the air, carrying listeners to a land of introspection and wonder.

From the opening track, "Natural Blue," Byrne sets the tone for the album, weaving a tapestry of delicate guitar picking and whispery vocals that transport you to a dreamlike state. The way she effortlessly combines elements of folk, pop, and ambient music is nothing short of magical.

Tracks like "Follow My Voice" and "I Live Now as a Singer" showcase Byrne's unparalleled talent for storytelling, as she paints vivid pictures with her words and melodies. It's hard not to get lost in the intricate sonic landscapes she creates, each song feeling like a journey through the depths of her soul.

But don't be fooled by the album's soft exterior – there's a rawness and vulnerability to Byrne's music that cuts deep. Songs like "All the Land Glimmered Beneath" and "Morning Dove" reveal the pain and longing that lie beneath the surface, adding another layer of depth to an already rich and textured album.

In conclusion, The Greater Wings is a testament to Julie Byrne's undeniable talent and creativity. It's an album that demands to be listened to with full attention, allowing yourself to be swept away by its beauty and emotion. Byrne is truly a force to be reckoned with in the world of folk music, and this album only solidifies her place as one of the genre's brightest stars.
