With “Chasing Slow,” Cinephile blends reflection, hope, and craftsmanship

Cinephile

For many artists, a long absence is something to worry about, but for Cinephile, it became an opportunity for reinvention. With an atmospheric electronic track that is familiar and refreshingly new, Chasing Slow sees the return of the Scottish duo after a decade since their last project, theSkinEP.

Cinephile, the project of writer & producer Kenny Inglis and vocalist Susan Wallace, has always been about making music that resonates on a deeper level. The duo embraces both the experiences and struggles of a changing world, leaving a sense of hope and renewal in Chasing Slow.

The song’s electronic downtempo basis sets up an immersive atmosphere that compels you to slow down and drink in every detail. The song was recorded remotely between two studios in Scotland, and although reflective of the reality of modern music-making, it still has the feel of an intimate song.

Susan Wallace’s vocals add a little warmth and emotion, drifting effortlessly through the finely tuned soundscape of the track. Kenny Inglis’ production, on the other hand, is cinematic and forward-thinking. Chasing Slow is a song of resilience, growth, and artistic evolution. It’s a reminder that great music can go far and inspire reflection and comfort in uncertain times.
