Tinlicker return to Cercle Records with ‘Melancholia,’ a sweeping melodic house cut that balances emotional weight with cinematic scale. Tender yet propulsive, the single captures a quiet fragility — reflecting on love, presence, and the fleeting nature of it all — while unfolding across expansive synth layers and a steady, forward-driving pulse. The result feels immersive, like standing at the edge of a vast landscape just as the light begins to shift.

For more than a decade, Tinlicker have carved out a space that feels both deeply personal and unmistakably theirs, consistently blurring the line between introspection and dancefloor release. Melancholia marks the fifth single from their forthcoming album Dreams Of The Machine, a project that contemplates humanity’s trajectory and asks whether we are moving toward a more inward, reflective existence — or drifting further from it.

With this latest release, the duo once again prove their ability to translate vulnerability into something expansive and transportive.

‘Melancholia’ is available here.
