Album Description
Available in:
It Won't Always Be Like This is the debut studio album by Irish rock band Inhaler, released on 9 July 2021 through Polydor.
Release and promotion
After being tipped for success in 2020, the band had originally planned to begin recording the album in March 2020. However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, plans had to be postponed and lockdown meant the band were able to spend more time on the album and make the songs "more fully-formed and more sure of themselves". Inhaler announced It Won't Always Be Like This in March 2021, with a release date of 16 July. However, in May, the band announced that the release date would be pushed forward a week to the 9 July.
To promote the album, Inhaler embarked on a tour of the UK, Europe and North America. It began in the UK in late August 2021, before going to North America in September 2021 and starting their European tour in October 2021 in Dublin and finishing in Lisbon in July 2022.
Inhaler also performed "Cheer Up Baby" on The Late Late Show with James Corden and MTV Rocks Chart with Jack Saunders to promote the album.
Content
The title track, "It Won't Always Be Like This", was one of the first songs the band wrote and although they spent a while on it, the song "kind of formed live" as gigs were the best to gauge a response to the songs the band wrote. The song is the opener for every gig the band does, so they wanted it to also be the opening track on the album. For the album, it was also re-recorded, having been first released as a single in March 2019, with Elijah Hewson saying that they wanted to give it "a bit of a facelift and make it sound like it does now live", as well as "update it and make it sound like the rest of the record".
"My Honest Face" was written in December 2018 and was released as a single in May 2019. "My Honest Face" was also re-recorded for the album. The song "gained massive traction" just as the band start touring and Hewson described it as being about "finding your feet and figuring out what persona you wanted to adopt when you go on stage".
"Slide Out the Window" was one of the first songs the band wrote during the COVID-19 lockdown and is a lot slower than the first two songs on the album. Ryan McMahon said that the song "shows a side of us that we've never really shown before", with Hewson adding that it "really encapsulates just the feeling of lockdown ... hoping that you're someplace else".
"Cheer Up Baby" was released in March 2021, towards the end of lockdown and is an uplifting song that the band have played at every single gig they've done and one that fans had been wanting the band to release as a single for a long time.
"A Night on the Floor" was "kind of the first time we did something a bit kind of psychedelic and trippy" and is about when "everything just seems so negative".
"My King Will Be Kind" was "inspired by people our age who maybe get taken into or just find themselves in extremist groups online".
"When It Breaks" was written at the beginning of lockdown and is a "contrast with the anger and aggression that a lot of people were feeling at the time".
"Who's Your Money On? (Plastic House)" is the longest track on the album and is a mix of a jam that the band and another song that the band had, "Plastic House". The band released the song as a single "out of nowhere" as there hadn't been any prior announcement to its release.
With "Totally", Hewson said that the band ended up "writing music that we weren't really able to play at the time" during lockdown and McMahon added that it was very difficult to write music over Zoom, but when the band went to the recording studio they "became really passionate about early on".
The vocals in "Strange Time to Be Alive" were the chorus of a demo that Robert Keating had been working on and their producer wanted to "make it an interlude" before the final track.
"In My Sleep" was written when the band were able to go to the recording studio during lockdown in 2020, with McMahon describing it as "the first time in years that we'd probably written a song by just jamming it straight up".
