Inhaler Share Title Track “Open Wide” From Forthcoming Album
INHALER share the title track from their forthcoming new album, Open Wide, set for release on February 7th via Geffen Records. Lisen to “Open Wide” below and pre-order album HERE.
The eponymous track from Inhaler’s new album is emblematic of the Irish quartet’s daring new era, a driving indie-rock epic mixing yearning hooks, expansive guitar lines and Balearic-style percussion. A huge singalong set to their most undeniable and infectious groove yet, “Open Wide” is the sound of a band thrillingly coming into their own. Already familiar as a fan-favorite from the band’s recent North American tour, the new track is one of 13 songs featured on their upcoming album.
Speaking about their new song, frontman Elijah Hewson says, “’Open Wide’ was originally a short electronic house demo that was lying around in our graveyard. We loved the bass line and the four to the floor kick on it.
When we took it to the studio in London for the tracking of the album and started playing it in the room it took on almost the opposite form, it’s still got that hypnotic tunnel thing, but it’s gone panoramic. We love it.”
The album Open Wide was produced by Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles/Florence & The Machine) and marks a giant leap forward for the band. Beginning work on it early this year in London, Inhaler were encouraged to challenge themselves and take more creative control. Listening to a wide range of genres during writing – from techno to Nick Cave – inspired them to experiment with a brighter, timeless sound, adding texture to the record. The result is an album of 13 songs that feels unique – a guitar-driven pop album unlike any other, solidifying their status as one of the most exciting young bands today.
