Julie Paschke

On Cold In Your Town, Melbourne artist Julie Paschke continues to refine her quietly arresting world—one built entirely by her own hands. Writing, performing and recording everything at home, Paschke shapes songs that feel like transmissions from the subconscious: loose, instinctive and deeply human. Mixed and mastered by Dan Duszynski (Dandy Sounds), the track glows with a subtle, wintery tension that mirrors its title.

Paschke rarely sets out with a clear concept; instead, her lyrics unravel in hindsight, revealing themes of fractured psyches, misread intentions and the intricate quagmire of human interaction. Cold In Your Town sits in that liminal emotional space—melodic but uneasy, intimate yet distant—offering listeners a moment of stillness to peer into the murk.

What makes Paschke compelling is her philosophy: she creates simply because it feels worthwhile. No outcomes, no persona to maintain, no need to over-explain. In a culture obsessed with transparency, she chooses mystery, letting the music speak first and last.

Cold In Your Town is a reminder that some of the most affecting art comes from those who aren’t trying to be seen—just heard.
