Isiah & The New People have crafted something special with their new single, Black Hills. Rooted in their signature blend of indie folk and psychedelic rock, the track feels like an open invitation to reconnect with something deeper. Inspired by the sacred land of South Dakota’s Black Hills, the song moves with a gentle but powerful energy that encourages listeners to step away from overthinking and instead feel their way forward.
The guitar work is both dreamy and grounded, building an atmosphere that’s lush without ever becoming overwhelming. The drums keep a steady pulse that almost mimics a heartbeat, while Isiah Driessen’s warm and soulful voice brings everything together. His delivery feels sincere and grounded, as if he’s not just performing the song but living it.
There’s a strong sense of intention behind every part of this track. You can hear how the band poured their spirit into it, drawing on both the beauty of nature and a desire for something more connected and conscious. Following their well-received EP Boxes, this song marks a clear step forward. It’s mature, it’s moving, and it stays with you.
One moment in, and I felt fully immersed. It’s the kind of track that doesn’t just sound good—it feels meaningful.
