Inhaler tell us about single ‘Your House’ and new album ‘Open Wide’: “There’s a strong sense of arrival for us”

Inhaler have spoken to NME about their energetic new single ‘Your House’ and the process of creating their upcoming third album album ‘Open Wide’.The Dublin indie stars – comprised of frontman and guitarist Eli Hewson, bassist Robert Keating, guitarist Josh Jenkinson and drummer Ryan McMahon – have shared their new single today (October 29).‘Your House’ is a vigorous song with anthemic synths, reminiscent of BØRNS‘ 2015 track ‘Electric Love’, giving listeners a taste of their new direction.

A gospel choir is splashed in during the chorus of: “There ain’t a sharp enough knife to cut me out of your life / I’m going to your house tonight,” highlighting Inhaler’s new era.“The song is about chasing some sort of destructive force in your own life, essentially just wanting something that’s not good for you,” Hewson told NME. “We’ve never released a song that sounds anything like it,” added McMahon. “Both sonically and musically, it covers a lot of different territories that we were exploring on the album while we were writing and recording it.”Third album ‘Open Wide’ was produced by Kid Harpoon – aka Tom Hull, most notably known for working on Harry Styles‘ 2022 Grammy Award-winning album ‘Harry’s House‘, and follows on from last year’s ‘Cuts & Bruises‘ and 2021 debut ‘It Won’t Always Be Like This’.Check out our full interview below, where the band tell us about their “refreshing” third LP, how New York City inspired them and Hewson’s time living in the Big Apple as a kid (alongside his family and father, U2‘s Bono), working with a new producer and how they have managed to become the band they’ve always wanted to sound like.NME: Hello Inhaler.
