As its title explicitly says, Sarah Kinsley’s latest EP, “Fleeting,” is about impermanence, the idea that nothing ever completely goes away. “Who knew dead things could come back to kill us?,” she says, recounting a poem from Lucille Clifton, one of the inspirations behind the EP.  

The California-spawned artist-producer says she was struck by how closely Luca Guadagnino’s 2024 film “Queer,” based on William S. Burroughs’ novel of the same name, echoed her feelings at the time. The film follows an American expatriate and addict played by Daniel Craig as he grows increasingly infatuated with Drew Starkey’s character Eugene Allerton. The duo embarks on a journey through the jungle to find a psychedelic that Lee hopes holds telepathic connection. At the core of the film is Lee’s loneliness and desire to exist transcendently.
