Multi/Triple Platinum, Multi/Triple Gold laureates Dutch duo Tinlicker drop poignant new single ‘This Life’ feat. Editors’ mainstay Tom Smith, out now to herald their third studio album ‘Cold Enough For Snow’ coming February 16th 2024 on [PIAS] Électronique, accompanied by an Album Tour.
‘This Life’ (ft. Tom Smith): true to Tinlicker’s gradual move to a ‘more organic sound’ for their melodic prog house, temple block percussion introduces Smith’s soul-stirring, world-weighted voice whose elegiac lyrics duet with sustained, heart-catching synth chords and keening, singing guitar sounds which lend an emotional, indie vibe. A powerful standalone single, and a vital part of the album to come with its wide range of sounds and voices.
As well as singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Smith, other notable vocalists on ‘Cold Enough For Snow’ include Placebo’s Brian Molko, renowned Boxer Rebellion’s singer/songwriter Nathan Nicholson (known also for work with Joris Voorn, Claptone, Duke Dumont), UK indie rock band Circa Waves and Julia Church, whose recent Tinlicker collab ‘Slipstream’ gained support from BBC’s Sian Eleri’s Chillest Show and Power Down Playlist, 538 (NL) a.m.m.
‘It’s magical that when you grow older life can still be full of surprises... like receiving vocals from the singer of a band (Editors) we’ve been long-time fans of. Signing with [PIAS] Électronique made it possibly to work together, and Tom Smith’s singing and writing instantly clicked with the song we wrote. Fitting enough ’This Life’ became our bright new single.’
- The 2024 tour: having conquered London’s Roundhouse this year, the multi-metallic pair (gold and platinum, inc 3 triples, all over Europe plus Canada for ‘Because You Move Me’) return to the UK, to the legendary Troxy London, Marble Factory (Bristol), Mandela Hall (Belfast). EU dates include the iconic Gashouder (NL), Elysee Montmartre (Paris), Magazzini Generali (Milan), Vicar Street (Dublin), Live Music Hall (Cologne), Fabrik (Hamburg)… breaking new ground in many cities/nations. Full tour dates HERE.
