INHALE is a cultural platform where artists are presented, where great projects are given credit and readers find inspiration. Think about Inhale as if it were a map: we can help you discover which are the must-see events all over the world, what is happening now in the artistic and cultural world as well as guide you through the latest designers’ products. Inhale interconnects domains that you are interested in, so that you will know all the events, places, galleries, studios that are a must-see. We have a 360 degree overview on art and culture and a passion to share.
Think maybe this is overworked? Think maybe the hosannas are reflexive, generalized? I did, and then I didn’t. So now think Paul Simon instead if you insist, admittedly a great album. But Sgt. Pepper is a truer precedent, to wit: if you’re smart you say where’s the rebop, only if you’re smarter you quickly figure out that maybe sustaining groove and unfailing exuberance don’t matter as much as you believed.
Each verse/chorus/bridge/intro melody, each lyric straight or knotty, each sound effect playful or perverse (or both)‑-each is pleasurable in itself and aptly situated in the sturdy songs and tracks, so that the whole signifies without a hint of concept.
And crucially, the boy-to-man themes you’d figure come with several twists I’ve noticed so far and more no doubt to come. One is simply a right-on credo: “Age is an honor‑-it’s still not the truth.” Another is how much time Ezra Koenig spends wrestling a Jahweh-like hard case.

The Big Guy comes out on the short end of a fight song called “Unbelievers,” and a DJ “spinning `Israelites’ into `Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown’” gives Him a nasty turn. But Koenig claims no permanent victory. Too smart. Too much a man, too.
