Rowena Wise channels non-monogamy and mental health into new album

abc.net.au —

Australian singer-songwriter Rowena Wise releases her second album, *Bad Things Feel Good* (with an asterisk), exploring complex themes of love, mental health, and identity through folksy indie rock. The album, recorded live in Melbourne with producer Rob Muinos, tackles non-monogamy, estrangement, and emotional repression, drawing from personal experiences and friends' stories. Wise's songwriting embraces moral ambiguity, rejecting simplistic narratives about right and wrong. Now in her 30s, Wise grew up in Margaret River with a luthier father who made her instruments. Her 2024 debut was shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize, and she begins a headline tour in October.
