The Soft Moon

Raised under the burning sun of the Mojave desert, Vasquez channels both his punk upbringing and Afro-Cuban heritage to sculpt decidedly dystopian soundscapes for a new generation of torn romantics. It's a brilliant debut set somewhere in the near post-apocalypse where technology enchants as much as it destroys.

Imposing and stark, the Soft Moon's Captured Tracks debut is impressively bathed in the tension and gloom of the industrial and goth 1980s.

The dead-of-night eeriness of the Soft Moon’s singles suggested Luis Vasquez was the dark horse in the Captured Tracks stable, and this self-titled full-length confirms it.

The Soft Moon is Luis Vasquez and The Soft Moon is his debut on Captured Tracks.
