Ohio rock trio Heartless Bastards return with their third album The Mountain on February 3 via Fat Possum. Following the critical acclaim of their two previous albums Stairs and Elevators and All This Time, fans have a lot to look forward to with The Mountain.
In true ascetic discipline, Heartless Bastards’ Erika Wennerstrom moved to Austin, Texas in 2007 for a change of inspirational scenery and a new recording project. With the help of producer Mike McCarthy (Spoon, Trail of Dead), she assembled a group of musicians with whom she gave the songs life and uncovered yet another layer of herself and the Heartless Bastards. The two new Bastards aren’t Texas ringers, but fellow Dayton brethren Dave Colvin on drums, and Jesse Ebaugh on bass, who actually played on the original demo that hooked Fat Possum.
