Arrow (Heartless Bastards album)

Arrow is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Heartless Bastards, released on February 19, 2012, on Partisan Records. The album marked a departure from the band's earlier, more blues-rock oriented sound, incorporating elements of psychedelia, krautrock, and dream pop.

Recorded in Tornillo, Texas, at Sonic Ranch studio, Arrow was produced by Spoon drummer Jim Eno. The album's title refers to the journey of self-discovery and the process of aiming for a new direction, both personally for lead singer Erika Wennerstrom and for the band's evolving musical style.

Arrow received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Wennerstrom's songwriting and vocal performance, as well as the album's experimental sound and cohesive atmosphere. The album charted on the Billboard 200, reaching number 87. Key tracks include "Parted Ways," "The Arrow Killed the Beast," and "Skin and Bone."
