Inhaler share new single ‘Open Wide’

Following the announcement of their biggest tour of the UK and Ireland to date, which will include a 20,000 capacity show in Dublin, Inhaler have released another taste of their upcoming new album. The title track ‘Open Wide‘ is the second extract from the band’s highly anticipated third album and serves as a follow-up to the current single ‘Your House’. The album “Open Wide” by the four-piece band from Dublin is set to be released on February 7th via Polydor Records. Listen to the new single HERE.

The eponymous title of Inhaler’s new album is emblematic of the Irish quartet’s bold new era: a driving indie rock epic that combines yearning hooks, sweeping guitar lines and Balearic-esque percussion. “Open Wide” is a rousing sing-along song with the band’s most undeniable and infectious groove to date, and is the sound of a band finding themselves. The new song, already familiar to fans from the band’s recent live set during the first leg of their Open Wide World Tour in North America, is one of 13 songs that will be included on the album of the same name.

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. When we took it to the studio in London to record the album and played it in the room, it almost took the opposite shape, it still has that hypnotic tunnel thing, but it’s become panoramic. We love it.

The album “Open Wide” was produced by Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles/Florence & The Machine) and represents a big step forward for the band. When the band started working on it in London earlier this year, they were encouraged to challenge themselves and take more creative control. In writing the album, they listened to a wide range of genres – from techno to Nick Cave – and experimented with a brighter, timeless sound that gave the album more texture. The result is a 13-song album that feels unique – a guitar-driven pop album unlike any other, cementing their status as one of the most exciting young bands around today.
