NEW YORK, NY - MAY 29, 2015 -- Heartless Bastards have released a new song, "Black Cloud" from their soon-to-be-released album  Restless Ones (Partisan).  Billboard premiered the song yesterday alongside a revealing Q&A with singer/songwriter/guitarist Erika Wennerstrom.

Two weeks ago, the band unveiled the new album's video for the first single, "Gates of Dawn. The clip premiered on  Stereogum and is now also available to view on YouTube .

Restless Ones, out June 16, 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 thus able to fully invest themselves in the act of creation.

"We took a lot of chances," says singer/songwriter Erika Wennerstrom says, "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 at the Thirsty Hippo in Hattiesburg, MS taking them across the east coast and Midwest before ending on July 2 at Trees in Dallas, TX. All tour and festival dates are listed below and can be found on their interactive website experienceRestlessOnes.net. Their fans will also be able to share photos, videos and check out new music directly from the band.
