Storefront Church

A man catches his reflection in the mirror and sees something wrong.

Storefront Church’s cinematic, maximalist music delights in mixing the surreal and the mundane, creating a pervasive sense of unease. Fitting, considering composer Lukas Frank was in a manic fugue state while writing the sprawling Ink & Oil. A score for an unseen film, Ink & Oil holds some of 2024’s most vibrantly beautiful moments, but there’s always darkness on the edge of town, nibbling at the edges. We talked to Frank below.
