In anticipation of their eighth studio album Weathervanes, GRAMMY-Award winners Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit have released their track from the project, “Middle of the Morning.” Weathervanes will be out on June 9 via Southeastern Records/Thirty Tigers, is written and produced by Isbell. Check it out below.
“Middle of the Morning” is a song written during the pandemic lockdown. Filled with melancholy and honesty, the song describes the feeling of being stuck in place, wheels and mind spinning, feeling like some essential part of yourself lives just outside of your reach. “It was about trying to keep my mind from unraveling over the couple of years there,” said Isbell
The song follows their previously released track “Death Wish,” which is also featured on the upcoming album.
It was announced last week that the new Sam Jones-directed documentary film, Jason Isbell: Running with Our Eyes Closed, will be released on HBO Max on April 7. In his own words, Isbell takes fans on an unexpected journey through his musical evolution and creative process as he goes into the studio to record his new album Reunions with the 400 Unit.
