Described by CLASH as “carefully etched indie folk”, Melbourne-based Rowena Wise delivers songs that have a newfound sense of honesty, holding space for all of life’s beauty and messiness. Her storytelling is like a close friend, offering heady ruminations on love, loss and alienation while giving gentle echoes of courage and empowerment. Dubbed as a ‘lyrical assassin’ by the Triple J community, she has a voice that can caress you in one breath and carve you apart in the next.
As a performer Rowena is centrestage, delivering her songs with raw, understated power. Her depth and relatability quickly draws the listener in over breezy guitar work and conversational lyricism. With her debut album ‘Senseless Acts of Beauty’ on the horizon, Rowena is poised to make her mark as “a menacing force in indie-pop's next generation” (Pilerats), cementing her as a compelling voice in the indie music scene and beyond.
