Inhaler at TRNSMT Festival 2019 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Inhaler‘s latest single When It Breaks has just been released after being written during the past couple of months.
As the band explain, this puts the track’s recording in lockdown time as they built it up from an instrumental demo. “When we went back to the studio over the summer and really got to put our heads together again, we felt like we had to write something about what was going on and how we felt about it,” they say.
“Coming off tour into lockdown was a huge adjustment for us after we had just got used to life on the tour. At first, it was a welcome break but pretty soon we were dying to get back to any festival or any gig where we could get our fix!”
“The lyrics and the music communicate the anxiousness of how we were all feeling and still are now a couple months later. It’s definitely the most politically-driven song we’ve released so far. It’s our interpretation of this strange and imperfect world we’ve come to live in. Things are gonna change and we are gonna be there when they do.”
