The Soft Moon

On the heels of two sensually dark 7 inches, Luis Vasquez of The Soft Moon, completed his self-titled debut full-length on Captured Tracks. 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 record set somewhere in the near post-apocalypse where technology enchants as much as it destroys.
