This is Fine

This is Fine is the debut studio album from the American pop band Well Wisher. Content The eleven-track album was released digitally and on vinyl with 6131 Records, on 28 September 2018. It was recorded in a rented home in the Poconos, and was produced and engineered by Erik Kase Romero, with additional engineering by Anthony Yebra, and mixing and mastering by Tim Panella at Cedar Sound Studios. Album photography is by Jenna Murphy, and design by SPR and the New Language. The album cover of a burning doll is a reference to the breakup of Newbold's former band, dollys. This is Fine is described as blending punk sonics and pop melodies, and it draws comparison to the music of Julien Baker, Joyce Manor, Thin Lips, and Kississippi. The song "Believe" was released on 12 September 2018, and Newbold explains it is about "realizing that friends who don't champion you are not worth your time [and] it's so important to surround yourself with friends who want to support you." In anticipation of This is Fine, Well Wisher released the single "I Know Better" a week before the album release, and it is described as "catchy and fun." The band says the song "is about doing everything you can to try and be the bigger person even if it means taking in some pretty hard blows." The record release show was on 6 October at Asbury Park Brewery, with ManDancing, latewaves, and Slingshot Dakota.
