Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are set to release their eighth album, Weathervanes, June 9 via Southeastern Records/Thirty Tigers. The leadoff track from the project, “Death Wish,” is out now.

Weathervanes features 13 brand new tracks penned and produced by Isbell. The collection features songs about adult love, change, the danger of nostalgia and the examination of myths, cruelty and regret, and redemption. A master storyteller, Isbell observes his fellow wanderers, looking internally and trying to understand, tautly reducing a universe to four minutes.

“There is something about boundaries on this record,” shares Isbell. “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.”

Isbell and the 400 Unit will be hitting the road throughout summer with additional headline dates and festivals added to the previously released slate of shows. Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 24.

“Death Wish”
