Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit Has a 'Death Wish'

Posted in Bands on February 28, 2023

Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit will release their new album, Weathervanes, on June 9th via Southeastern Records and Thirty Tigers. You can check out the lyric video for their new track, "Death Wish" below:

The band notes on the track:

“Death Wish” is about being in love with someone suffering from depression, with a powerful universal undercurrent about the fragility of life and the power and limits of love. That grown-up kind of love. Musically the track is beautiful and fascinating. Now it feels complicated and intricate, yet never fragile, like the subject of the song itself. As the first track it announces that Isbell is an artist growing, exploring new musical frontiers. The Sylvia Massy-added strings make it bold and ambitious, with the cinematic tone of a Bond theme.
