Inhaler cover Kavinsky 'Nightcall' for Like A Version
Pick up the phone, Inhaler is dialling in with their debut Like A Version, taking on Kavinsky's 'Nightcall'. Or you might know it best as the theme from the 2011 film, Drive . Steering the track away from its gritty French house foundations, the Irish band shifted into gear and transformed it into an indie anthem. The ability to make that work is impressive, really. "I think because it was a movie soundtrack, that kind of felt different to covering just a normal pop song," singer Elijah Hewson said. "That made us kind of lean into it a bit." The band's been testing the waters with their fans by playing the original track over the speakers before their sets recently, a bit of subliminal messaging for what they were planning to cover. "We almost don't overthink these kind of covers for better or for worse," bassist Robert Keating said. "But it's nice to try and be out of your comfort zone sometimes. And I think that when we pulled things out and gave the song a bit of space I feel like it kind of revealed itself to be a bit more emotional and have a bit more weight to it as well." A ripper debut in the Like A Version archives from Inhaler. Pure class. Check out more from their visit to the studios below.
