With a name like Rocky, you don’t have to try too hard to get people’s attention. Still, Rocky Votolato isn’t going to sit idly by and do nothing. Instead, he’s releasing a new album, True Devotion, due February 23 on Barsuk. True Devotion was mixed by Casey Foubert (Sufjan Stevens, David Bazan) and John Goodmanson (The Blood Brothers, Sleater-Kinney). Anyone who pre-orders the album before its release date will get access to a digital version of the album plus a bonus 7-inch single with two non-album tracks, and will be entered into a contest to win a private house show performance by Rocky himself. If you don’t win the private show, be sure to catch Rocky when he comes to a city near you:
