Heartless Bastards Shares New Song via Billboard

Heartless Bastards

New York – Heartless Bastards have released a new song, “Black Cloud” (which just premiered yesterday,) from their soon-to-be-released album, Restless Ones (Partisan).

Listen to “Black Cloud” below!

Two weeks ago, the band unveiled the new album’s video for the first single, “Gates of Dawn.” The clip is now available to view on YouTube.

(“Marathon,” another great song from Heartless Bastards, was discussed at length in this Best New Bands interview!)

Restless Ones, which comes out June 16, 2015, is the band’s fifth album and was produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning producer, John Congleton (St. Vincent, Angel Olsen, Swans). Restless Ones was tracked in August 2014 during a 10-day session at El Paso, TX’s renowned Sonic Ranch. Located on 2,300 acres of pecan orchards bordering the Rio Grande and Mexico, the studio – the largest residential recording complex in the world – provided the perfect setting; miles away from all real world responsibilities and making it possible for the band to fully invest themselves in the act of creation.

Singer / songwriter Erika Wennerstrom says, “We took a lot of chances, taking the sounds in different directions in order to grow. I don’t ever want to make the same album twice.”

Heartless Bastards are setting off on a summer tour this June with support from Craig Finn (of The Hold Steady). The tour kicks off on June 10, 2015 at the Thirsty Hippo in Hattiesburg, MS, taking the band across the east coast and Midwest before ending on July 2, 2015 at Trees in Dallas, TX. All tour and festival dates are listed below and can be found on their interactive website experience HERE.

Their fans will also be able to share photos, videos and check out new music directly from the band.
