Tinlicker is an electronic music duo hailing from Utrecht, consisting of Micha Heyboer and Jorid van Achthoven, both on drums and keys. As on their previous two albums
This Is Not Our Universe (2019) and
In Another Lifetime (2022), the twosome opts for a variety of instrumental tracks and songs with guest vocalists and artists. Not the least of these, passing through include Circa Waves, Brian Molko
… (of Placebo), Tom Smith (of Editors) and the Metropole Orchestra. Musically, the two men's electronica hangs in between deep house and trance that can be traced back to the 1990s. The entire album sounds graceful, with the gas pedal being pressed at the right moments. Although the many guest artists add color to the album, it is mainly the instrumental tracks that impress.
