New York, NY (Top40 Charts) INHALER have today shared another taste of their forthcoming new album with the release of stomping new single 'A Question Of You'. It is the third track to be unveiled from the Dublin quartet's brilliant third album 'Open Wide' which is released February 7th via Polydor Records/Universal Music. It follows recent singles 'Your House' and 'Open Wide' and further showcases a band thrillingly coming into their own and taking their sound in audacious new directions.
Speaking about 'A Question Of You', frontman Elijah Hewson says, "This is love song territory for me, about how in order to be honest with someone else you've got to be honest with yourself, like, 'I've gotta sort my own shit out so I can be around other people'. It's also a soulmates thing. The choir really changed everything on this one."
Recorded at RAK Studios in London and produced by Grammy and Brit Award-winning Kid Harpoon, Inhaler's new album 'Open Wide' reinforces their status as the ultimate modern guitar band, a group for whom jubilant pop melodies, intricate grooves and rock'n'roll dynamism are kindred spirits rather than strangers. Featuring 13 songs, it hones the sweeping, euphoric singalongs of their first two albums It Won't Always Be Like This and Cuts & Bruises, into something more fully-formed, a record you can lose yourself in and one where every track feels like it could be a big single. Sonically, it's an album where the band's love of T.Rex, early MGMT, Prince,
Depeche Mode and more nestles alongside the indie and garage-rock influences of their teens, and is a majestic celebration of who
Inhaler are and everything they've done to get to this point. Its release next month coincides with band's biggest ever tour of UK and Ireland, which includes two headline shows at the iconic rock venue Brixton Academy, and ahead of their 20,000-capacity Dublin show in May.
