As We Pass

Description

For years, Lukas Frank, the artist at the center of Storefront Church, has been quietly honing his craft. As a musician, he’s played with artists across genres, spending time as the drummer in a multitude of projects, most notably in Phoebe Bridgers’ band. On first blush, Frank’s debut; ‘As We Pass’ scans as a sweeping artistic statement, one that paints dark, weathered landscapes and pairs them with his mournful croon. Comparisons can be made to the likes of such classic artists as Roy Orbison and Scott Walker, but there’s also an undercurrent of Nick Cave’s free-form experimentation, and even the desolation of OK Computer, that makes ‘As We Pass’ never fall into one singular mode.
