Pre-Order: Rowena Wise - Bad Things Feel Good - Lucky Dip [Colored Vinyl]

The sophomore album from Australian Music Prize-shortlisted songwriter Rowena Wise is a tender, point-blank reckoning with what it means to be flesh and blood. Love hurts, everyone is full of dark and light, and the rules of negotiating desire, devotion and self-authenticity no longer hold. Produced by Rob Muinos (Julia Jacklin, Didirri) and recorded live over three days at The Ratshack with Richard Bradbeer (bass), Jess Ellwood (drums) and Matt Dixon (pedal steel), the album favours restraint and intimacy. Wise's vocal performances soar and crumble in real time over tight, organic instrumentation - powerful storytelling that feels less like spectacle and more like permission. Since her 2018 debut, Wise has amassed over 9.2M+ streams, earned support from triple j and double j, and been praised by CLASH Magazine, FLOOD, and Rolling Stone AU/NZ. She has supported Holy Holy, Ball Park Music, Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey, and performed at SXSW, The Great Escape, Reeperbahn Festival and Bigsound, with sold-out shows in London and Melbourne.
