Behind Inhaler's cover of Kavinsky 'Nightcall' for Like A Version
It may have been a swift all-in decision for Inhaler to cover Kavinsky's 'Nightcall', actually building their take on it took a little more legwork.
"When we first attacked it, Josh (Jenkinson, guitar and keys) had a kind of plan of what we were going to do and he'd sketch it out on his computer," vocalist Elijah Hewson said.
"Then we went to playing it and it just felt we would usually do if we did a cover of a song.
"So it went through a lot of different versions and we ended up with this stripped back thing where it's just me and Josh playing at the beginning and stagger things coming in."
Paring the crunchy French house track right back allowed the Irish band to uncover its emotional roots.
"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," bassist Robert Keating said.
Inhaler really made this one even more perfect for late night solo drives, didn't they.
