The Used veröffentlichen eine Woche vor dem Release des Albums Heartwork (erstmals auf Hassle Records), das Video zu ihrer neuen Single Cathedral Bell:
Sänger Bert McCracken kommentiert den eingängigen Song wie folgt:
„It reminds me of being a little kid,“ had a really hard time with sleeping when I was younger. I just never wanted to go to bed, and when I did, I could never sleep. It just reminds me of being young and in the dark and up way past my bedtime.“
Heartwork featured u.a.musikalische Gäste wieMark Hoppus, Travis Barker (beide Blink-182) undJason Aalon Butler (Fever 333).
Produziert wurde das Album von John Feldman (Goldfinger, Good Charlotte etc.), über die Zusammenarbeit und den Sound der Platte hat McCracken folgendes zu sagen:
“The new album plays on the emotions, the sincerity, and the vulnerability of the first record and In Love and Death, with a little bit of the flair from Lies For The Liars. Standing in the streaming circle-pit with Kesha and Halsey, the album is just as modern sounding. JohnFeldmann’s production is THAT professional. It sounds really good! Those are two really random examples, but I think if you listen to both of those records, the songs are all over the place: dance, pop, actual punk rock riffs and drums. I think music is so all over the place right now that The Used fits in perfectly.”
