Rocky Votolato: True Devotion

Posted by Flick in Media, Mp3 Singles on 02 18th, 2010 | View Comments

Rocky Votolato is back with a new album called True Devotion that is already available on iTunes. Yesterday, Paste Magazine began streaming the entire album and can still be heard there. The first single, Red River, was released yesterday, while the album will officially be released on February 23rd. The single will be released as a 7″ with two bonus tracks (that feature David Bazan on drums), Rushing To The Ending (with James Bowman on guitar) and Connections. Pre-release orders will be shipped with a 7″.

Peering into the connection between True Devotion and the personal life of Rocky Votolato since he released The Brag & Cuss, we’re told that Rocky has been struggling with severe depression and anxiety.

“Unable to write or keep up a busy touring schedule, he cut himself off from the outside world (at one point barely leaving his apartment for over a year). Spending his time reading and studying, he gradually overcame his demons.”

Rocky eventually began to write again and during the recording process of True Devotion, which he recorded most of the album alone, he, “found some long sought-after understanding and peace of mind.” (quoted from his press release)
