Earlier this week Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit released the first single, “Death Wish”, off their forthcoming album, Weathervanes due out on June 9. It’s absolutely no secret that Jason Isbell is one of my favorite artists, so I’m very excited for some new music by him. I’m seeing him in concert later this summer, and I’m happy there will be some new jams to rock out to. This song is about loving someone with an addiction. In true Jason Isbell fashion it really cuts to the heart of things. A few days before they made the official album announcement, they put out this ridiculous hype video as a teaser. It’s hilarious because it’s true.
There’s also a new song out by Chvrches today called “Over”. They are also a band I really love, so I’m excited for new music by them as well. However, it didn’t wind up being a contest over which song I was going to feature today because even though you can stream it, the video for the song is not coming out until this afternoon. As I prefer to share YouTube videos since I don’t know what streaming services everyone has access to, that made it an easy call to go with the Jason Isbell song.
