Julie Paschke’s "Flying Above" is a delicate indie folk offering from Melbourne, Australia. A new single from Julie, it is her second of the year and a warm, melodic DIY track that oozes authenticity.
... a heartfelt DIY indie folk track that blends intimacy, nostalgia, and quietly powerful emotion.
All written and recorded entirely at home, the song carries her emotional vocals layered over gorgeous acoustic guitar, handclaps, and subtle electric guitar textures that emerge around the midpoint. It feels atmospheric yet intimate, with her vocals becoming more immersive as the track progresses.
In the final third, the addition of backing vocals lifts the song even further. This is a track that hooked me on the first listen. There are also clear nods to acoustic rock from the 1990s and early 2000s, which adds to its charm. If you enjoy this, be sure to check out the single and her previous six tracks on Spotify.
