When Emma Ruth Rundle started work on her stunning new album Engine Of Hell, she began to uncover a darkness within. Now on the other side of a powerful emotional transformation, its release finds the singer-songwriter with a newfound sense of freedom.
STOREFRONT CHURCH: ONE OF STEREOGUM'S BEST NEW BANDS OF 2021
As We Pass is Lukas Frank’s official debut LP as Storefront Church, but the noir-ish storms he conjures on the album have been brewing for years. A session drummer-turned-darkly atmospheric auteur, Frank can evoke Radiohead and Chris Isaak in the same breath. His music flexes both a fundamental knack for melody and a meticulously detailed touch. It feels grim and apocalyptic, yet the future of this project feels bright.

10/10 REVIEW FOR EMMA RUTH RUNDLE'S 'ENGINE OF HELL'
Those familiar with Emma Ruth Rundle’s catalogue of work will know it is shrouded in melancholy and darkness. Whether it’s previous solo pieces such as Marked For Death, or gothic collaborations with Thouand Chelsea Wolfe, Rundle’s lyricism and emotional grappling accompanied by roaring electronics guitars and noisy drums made for stark listening. With Engine of Hell’s debut single, “Return“, it quickly became evident that Rundle’s latest album is going to be a departure from her previous sound. The band arrangement has been traded in for the lone piano or guitar, the pounding of drum toms replaced with gentle B9 chords. The minimalism leaves each note and lyric across the album to be heard.
