Profile | Cinephile

When the new millennium dawned the musical horizon was changing. As genres subdivided and dissolved a whole host of new bands would come to the surface bringing with them a fresh sound for the future. One such band was Cinephile, formed in 2002 by Kenny Inglis and Susan Wallace.

Some influences may at first be obvious, but all is not as it seems. From the downtempo pulse of Massive Attack to the density of Leftfield or the rhythmic complexities of Lamb, the backbone of Cinephile's sound is a rich mix of ever changing contrasts. Their heavy cinematic slant may take a nod to the likes of John Carpenter and Ennio Morricone, but this is also a band with their own firm sonic manifesto.

It wasn't long before their music caught the attention of the world of film and television. From small credits in the UK to more recent high profile syncs such as "Six Feet Under" and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", this is a band who are also causing something of a scene on celluloid.

2007 would bring a much welcomed return to the live circuit for Cinephile, in which the band would play a number of high profile appearances at various venues and summer festivals up and down the country.

So what can we expect from Cinephile in 2008 ? New releases ? More live dates ? Better keep your ears, and your eyes open....
