MISSIO Drop Seductive New Single “Bleed” and Announce Cinematic Album ‘Love & Heartbreak’

MISSIO have a new album coming, and they’re not easing into it. The Texas duo of Matthew Brue and David Butler have announced ‘Love & Heartbreak’, out July 3rd via Nettwerk, and launched it with “Bleed,” a seductive, tension-loaded single about the intoxicating pull of new desire. Fourteen tracks deep, the record navigates the full emotional arc of human connection through gritty alt-rock, pulsating electronic textures, and cinematic atmosphere.

The band frames the album around a question that never gets old. “Will I allow my own fear of getting my heart broken to stop me from experiencing something potentially magnificent?” Brue and Butler have spent a decade refusing to sit inside a single genre, pulling from rock, electronic, indie, and hip-hop to build something that hits on a visceral level. ‘Love & Heartbreak’ is the fullest expression of that instinct yet.

“Bleed” sets the tone immediately. The duo describes it as capturing “that overwhelming intoxication and sexual desire to experience one another for the first time,” and the track delivers exactly that, wrapping compulsive energy in hypnotic production and unfiltered lyricism. It is a strong, confident entry point into what promises to be one of their most cohesive records.

MISSIO are currently on the road for “The Hollow Crown Tour,” headlining alongside WesGhost and ThxSoMch, with support from The Haunt, Oxymorrons, and rosecoloredworld. The tour runs through April 18th in Los Angeles, with synths, serrated guitars, and moody vocals anchoring every night. Tickets are on sale now.
