Heartwork is the eighth studio album by American rock band The Used. It was released on April 24, 2020 on Big Noise.
Background
In mid-2019, the Used signed to their long-time friend and producer John Feldmann's record label Big Noise. They started recording the album in June 2019, took a break to headline the Disrupt Festival tour, and finished recording the album in November 2019. A music video for the single "Blow Me" was released in December 2019, "Paradise Lost, a poem by John Milton" in February, and "Cathedral Bell" in April. This is the first album to feature Joey Bradford on guitar after Justin Shekoski left in 2018. The band recorded 27 songs during the Heartwork sessions and plan on releasing another album later in 2020 that will include the remaining songs. The deluxe edition was eventually published on September 10, 2021.
