If my last record was my most extravagant and aspirational, Blue Movie is my cheapest and most pathetic. Ink \u0026amp; Oil was made in earnest in studios with live strings and friends, this one was birthed alone in a windowless shed with fake instruments and synths; my worst impulses on display. At its best, this record aspires towards cinema in the way that the last porn theater in Los Angeles (the Tiki) aspires towards it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis intense raging against the dying of the light has seen Perfume Genius, Lauren Auder, Last Dinner Party, Diiv and The Horrors at his last few shows.\u003cbr\u003eFlorence Welch confessed she gets goosebumps from Lukas’ music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd they aren’t the only ones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis songs grace the soundtracks of Department Q and The Queens Gambit and he’s made something wild for the new Tony Gilroy movie starring Pedro Pascal, in which he makes a small appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStorefront Church just debuted his incendiary soundtrack to P Staff’s Canicula installation at Venice’s Bienalle Arts Festival.
