Julie Byrne – The Greater Wings (Vinyl)
The first full-length release from Julie Byrne since 2017's Not Even Happiness was recorded with the late Eric Littmann and completed with producer Alex Somers.
Sufjan Stevens’ Carrie & Lowell is perhaps the closest comparison in terms of musical and emotional tenor, but Byrne’s album is ultimately as singular as the woman singing it, and as unforgettable as a departed friend. The Greater Wings is sublime and difficult to fault.
Fans of Byrne will be delighted and moved to hear her grow even further as an artist and songwriter, not least in her coming to terms with grief and pain. New listeners to Byrne will surely find an artist of great pathos and empathy whose talents may now get the wider hearing they deserve.
Vinyl, LP, Limited Edition, Sky Blue
Tracklist:
The Greater Wings
Portrait Of A Clear Day
Moonless
Summer Glass
Summer's End
Lightning Comes Up From The Ground
Flare
Conversation Is A Flowstate
Hope's Return
Death Is The Diamond

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
