Description
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are set to release their eighth album, Weathervanes.
A Jason Isbell record always lands like a decoder ring in the ears and hearts of his audience, a soundtrack to his world and magically to ours too. Weathervanes carries the same revelatory power. This is a storyteller at the peak of his craft, observing his fellow wanderers, looking inside and trying to understand, reducing a universe to four minutes.
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.”
The record features the rolling thunder of Isbell’s fearsome 400 Unit, who’ve earned a place in the rock ’n’ roll cosmos alongside the greatest backing ensembles, as powerful and essential to the storytelling as The E Street Band or The Wailers.
