Back Seat Driver Captures Courage and Strength on Soulful New Single “The Mountain” from Upcoming Self-Titled EP
Back Seat Driver‘s new single, “The Mountain,” is a soulful anthem about facing life’s challenges with courage and self-belief. Formed in 2023, Back Seat Driver is the collective effort of Sam (keys), Gil (bass), Harland (drums), and Dara (vocals), blending neo-soul grooves with roots-inspired storytelling. “The Mountain” takes listeners on a journey of resilience, culminating in an empowering musical crescendo.
The track was born from an older version with a gospel vibe, transformed during a jam session into a groove-driven song layered with soulful elements. Stripped-down but dynamic, the recording showcases the band’s tight chemistry and their commitment to organic musical growth.
The band shares,
“This song came together for us really quickly. The idea centers around the idea that everyone faces mountains in their life that will come down when we believe in ourselves. It’s our anthem of courage and strength.”
The band draws inspiration from personal experiences and the belief that simplicity allows for the greatest growth, a theme evident throughout their debut, self-titled EP, arriving April 4th, 2025.
