Dublin’s indie rock sensation Inhaler has released their third studio album, “Open Wide.” This album marks a significant evolution for the band, known for their guitar-driven sound and rising popularity with hits like “My Honest Face” and “Cheer Up Baby.”
“Open Wide” is a 13-track exploration that showcases Inhaler stepping out of their comfort zone, both musically and thematically. Produced by Kid Harpoon, who has previously worked with artists like Harry Styles and Florence + The Machine, the album introduces a broader sonic palette while retaining the band’s signature anthemic quality.
The lead single, “Your House,” sets the tone for the album, blending 70s rock influences with a modern indie feel, highlighting the band’s growth in songwriting and production. Other tracks like “Open Wide” (the title track) and “Death & Love, Pt. 1” delve into more experimental territories, with expansive guitar lines, hypnotic rhythms, and a newfound maturity in lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.
Fan reactions on social media have been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the band for their bold new direction. The album has been described as a “giant leap forward,” not just in terms of sound but also in how it captures the essence of Inhaler’s live energy, which has been a hallmark of their performances.
“Open Wide” is available in various formats, including standard and exclusive vinyl editions, CDs, and digital downloads. The band has also launched an official store where fans can find signed memorabilia and other exclusive merchandise tied to the album release.
Accompanying the album is an ambitious world tour, taking Inhaler across the UK, Europe, and Asia in 2025. This tour is set to be their largest to date, with stops at iconic venues like London’s O2 Academy Brixton, showcasing their growing stature in the music scene.
Critics have lauded “Open Wide” for its cohesive vision and the band’s ability to evolve while keeping their core sound intact. The album is seen as a testament to Inhaler’s potential to not just be a mid-tier festival band but to push towards the very top of the indie rock genre.
With “Open Wide,” Inhaler has not only expanded their musical horizons but has also solidified their position as one of the most exciting young bands in contemporary guitar music.
