“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," Rosie Carney says of the new track.
Doomsday... Don't Leave Me Here follows Carney's 2019 album i wanna feel happy, with "The Evidence" following previous singles “Here” and “Fragile Fantasy". It is the first full-length LP that Ross MacDonald has assisted with production, with the album being a collaborative effort between himself and producer Ed Thomas (FKA twigs, Cat Burns, Amaarae).
On the album, Carney adds: “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.”
