Caroline Rose first got our attention in 2014 when she released her excellent debut album, I Will Not Be Afraid, and played subsequent showcase-stealing sets at the Americana Music Festival. Now, Rose has announced a signing with New West Records and forthcoming sophomore album.

Rose will release LONER on February 23. She co-produced the album with Paul Butler at Panoramic Studios in Stinson Beach, California, and played a number of the instruments on the album herself. Where I Will Not Be Afraid traded in rockabilly and folk influences, LONER finds Rose exploring lo-fi rock and alt-pop synths.

Ahead of the album’s release, Rose shared a new LONER track, “Money.” Noisey premiered a music video for the garage rock ode to greenbacks on Wednesday, and you can watch the clip below. Check out Rose’s upcoming tour dates below, too.
