This October and November,
Rowena Wise
takes her full band on the road across Australia to support her sophomore album,
Bad Things Feel Good
*. The record is a tender, point-blank look at the pain of transformation and what it means to be flesh and blood — from Melbourne to Brisbane, Sydney to Hobart and beyond.
Written over two years of near-constant touring and recorded live over three days at The Ratshack in Collingwood with producer Rob Muinos (Julia Jacklin, Didirri), the album traces heartbreak, estrangement, and the knottier growing pains of adulthood through candid poetic lyricism and a raw live production. The songs hold space rather than demand attention, and live, they hit even harder.
Since debuting in 2018, she has amassed over 10 million streams, earned airplay across
triple j
,
Double j
and
Unearthed
, and toured extensively across Australia, the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada, supporting artists including
Holy Holy, Ball Park Music, Bernard Fanning
and
Paul
Dempsey
. Her 2024 debut album,
Senseless Acts of Beauty
, was praised by
CLASH Magazine
as “
carefully etched indie folk
” and shortlisted for the
Australian Music Prize
. Her highly anticipated sophomore album,
Bad Things Feel Good
*, a tender, point-blank meditation on transformation, is out August 7, 2026 via Beloved Records.
