Inhaler
with Benches
Artist Information
Let’s take a trip back to the old world, to February 2020. Inhaler are just back from a triumphant tour in Japan, another set of dates to add to the feeling that something special is building. The Irish quartet are on the crest of a wave. Over the previous year, they have released a series of blistering singles – the new wave grandeur of It Won’t Always Be Like This, the synth-pop swagger of Ice Cream Sundae, the expansive indie jangle of We Have To Move On – and now singer and guitarist Elijah Hewson, guitarist Josh Jenkinson, bassist Robert Keating and drummer Ryan McMahon are turning their thoughts to nailing down a definitive debut album. The songs are ready, intricately crafted at home in Dublin and then honed to perfection in venues around the globe, and the flights are booked. And then the world hits pause. Everything stops.
And the moral of the story is that it’s not really about anything and it’s also about everything. It Won’t Always Be Like This captures the joy and exuberance of being young and all the fretting that follows, the sense of adventure, the feeling that if something’s worth doing, it shouldn’t have to wait until tomorrow. It’s a framing of life in your late teens and early twenties. They had to wait for their moment, but Inhaler were ready when the time came. They got it down.
