Irish singer-songwriter Rosie Carney today announces her highly anticipated fourth studio album, Doomsday… Don’t Leave Me Here, arriving February 27, 2026 via cool0nline. The album was co-written and co-produced with Ross MacDonald of The 1975 and acclaimed producer Ed Thomas (FKA twigs, Cat Burns, Amaarae) and mixed by Jonathan Gilmore (The 1975, Beabadoobee, Biffy Clyro).

Alongside the announcement, Carney shares the album’s bold new single “The Evidence,” with an official music video directed by Cal McIntyre (The Last Dinner Party). It marks the third single from Doomsday… Don’t Leave Me Here, following the previously released “Here” and “Fragile Fantasy,” the first new music since her 2022 acclaimed sophomore record, i wanna feel happy.

“It’s funny because I LOVE the production of this song, it’s so exciting to me. But the song’s theme is very dystopian,” Carney shares.

“It’s about that state of delirium you experience when you’re burning out but resting or being still is out of the question because it makes you feel too guilty, so you end up overexerting yourself mentally and physically. It becomes an extremely difficult cycle to break free from and everything ends up feeling like a complete fever dream. I think this is probably the boldest sounding song on the album. It set various tones for the rest of the production.”

On her fourth record, Carney pushes beyond the intimate folk foundations of her earlier work, forging a vivid sonic world in collaboration with MacDonald and Thomas across months of sessions in London. The album explores female rage, nostalgia, existential dread, and the complexities of love and loss through a sonic world that pulls from shoegaze, alt-pop, and electronic textures.

Rosie on the album: “Before Doomsday came about, I’d always wanted to try and expand my musical world. Making a sonic pivot was something I really wanted to achieve, especially as I find it really limiting to be boxed into one genre. I listen to and am influenced by so much music, so exploring a new sound has only ever been second nature to me. I’d always been anxious about creating something bigger and for some reason I wasn’t really open to doing that through collaboration until Ross, Ed and I sat down and began to weave this tapestry of musical worlds together. I learnt so much from working with both Ed and Ross, each of them brought such a grounding and inspiring energy to the studio which gave me a lot of confidence to explore and be curious. It’s funny because although the songs are essentially bigger and louder, they feel almost more personal than anything I’ve created before. The bigger sound almost worked as a shield while I was writing - It felt safer to dig deep and explore themes of grief, heartache and isolation.This album to me is like a body of armour and the softness lives protected within it.”

Each morning in the studio the Hampshire-born, Ireland-based artist Rosie Carney would be regaled by stories of the true crime podcasts her collaborator Ed Thomas would listen to as he fell asleep. “They were about fucking plane crashes or some other apocalyptic shit,” Carney laughs. “We’d end up talking about them, and then about the way of the world, eventually bleeding into the theme of what we were making.”

These surreal, strange and somewhat nihilistic conversations chimed with that particular moment in Carney’s life. Emerging in 2019 with the spare and vulnerable folk of debut album Bare, she then caught many’s attention with a stunning and creative full-length reimagination of Radiohead classic The Bends, released in 2020.

After coming out swinging on her rockier second album, i wanna feel happy, Carney began experiencing what she describes as “severe existential dread, and feeling like I'm about to die”. Feeling like the walls were closing in, these seemingly lighthearted studio conversations over coffee brought with them a framework and theme that spoke to her current despair. A theme began to appear -- Don't Leave Me Here serving as a physical representation of her dread, but also her desire to break beyond it.
