"Isn't It True" is the first single from American-Irish band Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions' third studio album, Until the Hunter. The song was first released on an opaque-red 7" vinyl for Record Store Day 2016.[1] This vinyl was limited to 2,500 copies worldwide,[2] and was the first release issued by the band through their own independent record label, Tendril Tales.[3] The vinyl contained an exclusive track as its b-side, titled "She's In the Wall".[4] Both songs feature additional musicianship from Jim Putnam of Radar Bros.[5]

A music video for the song was released on April 19, and features vintage photographs and clips that the band described as "lost and found memories."[6] The video is dedicated to Richie Lee of Acetone.[7] On May 13, "Isn't It True" was released as a 1-track digital single.[8] Until the Hunter was released on November 4, 2016.[9][10][11]
