Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit have announced their eighth album, Weathervanes, which will be out on June 9 via Southeastern Records/Thirty Tigers. Today, they’ve previewed the LP – Isbell’s first collection of original songs since 2020’s Reunions – with the new single ‘Death Wish’. Check it out below and scroll down for the album’s cover art and tracklist.
Recorded at Nashville’s Blackbird Studio, Weathervanes features guest contributions from Isbell’s wife Amanda Shires, harmonicist Mickey Raphael, Sylvia Massy and Ian Rickard on backing vocals, and Morgan O’Shaughnessey on strings. The 400 Unit is made up of Derry deBorja (keyboards), Chad Gamble (drums), Jimbo Hart (bass), and Sadler Vaden (guitar).
“There is something about boundaries on this record,” Isbell said in a press release. “As you mature, you still attempt to keep the ability to love somebody fully and completely while you’re growing into an adult and learning how to love yourself.”
