\n\tIrish rockers Inhaler<\/a> have offered up a re-imagining of Kavinsky\u2019s \u201cNightcall\u201d as part of their recent appearance on Like a Version<\/em>, the long-running covers segment from Australian radio station triple j<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tThe group\u2019s cover was recorded during their most recent visit to Australia earlier this month \u2013 their second trip Down Under, having only made their debut in the country last year. As part of their session, the group launched into proceedings with a rendition of their original track \u201cBilly (Yeah Yeah Yeah)\u201d<\/a> \u2013\u00a0as featured on their third studio album, Open Wide<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tAhead of their Like a Version <\/em>set, triple j alerted listeners<\/a> to an apparent rumor that had overtaken their social media feed in which an unnamed individual had spread the claim that Inhaler would be covering Benson Boone\u2019s \u201cMystical Magical.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWhile the rumor resulted in \u201chundreds of people are flooding our dms mad at us,\u201d there turned out to be little truth in the allegation, with Inhaler instead choosing Kavinsky\u2019s \u201cNightcall.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tOriginally released in 2010 and later featured on the French musician\u2019s debut album, 2013\u2019s OutRun<\/em>, \u201cNightcall\u201d also features production work from Daft Punk\u2019s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tWhile never impacting the Hot 100, it became something of a cultural touchstone thanks to its appearance in the title sequence to Nicolas Winding Refn\u2019s 2011 film Drive<\/em>, and would later gain enough attention for Kavinsky to perform the track at the closing ceremony of the 2024 Olympics in Paris.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI \u200athink because it was a movie soundtrack that kind of felt different to covering just a normal pop song,\u201d Inhaler\u2019s Elijah Hewson explained in a post-performance interview<\/a>. \u201cSo that kind of made us kind of lean into it a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI snuck it into our pre-show playlist, and that was kind of a nice kind [way of] testing the waters,\u201d added Robert Keating. \u201cSo I\u2019m kind of hoping that all our fans have already got it ingrained in their memory.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe all agreed on it as well. [It\u2019s the] same reason we\u2019re called Inhaler. When you can all agree on something in a band, it usually means that all a good sign.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tHaving first launched in 2004, the Like a Version series has gone from being a near-impromptu acoustic affair to featuring larger studio productions. Numerous artists have taken part over the past two decades, with the likes of Billie Eilish, Childish Gambino, Arctic Monkeys, and more reinventing classic tracks in the process.<\/p>\n \n\tView Inhaler\u2019s cover of \u201cNightcall\u201d below:<\/p>\n
