The Soft Moon Release New EP 'Total Decay' Today

Just a year after their debut self-titled LP release, The Soft Moon today release new E.P ‘Total Decay’, the highly-anticipated follow-up to their eponymous debut.

Luis Vasquez continues to conjure a sound-fuelled tempest that intoxicates with its own post-apocalyptic dust in this new extended play, which will be fittingly released on Halloween. What began as a side-project has quickly gathered a cult following that has gained spotlight in its own right, no longer in a cloaked corner.

After two stirring 7 inches and a full album, it was apparent that Vasquez was digging his own niche, an intimate well-spoken whisper, carrying a heavy load of synths that creep and drums that command an uncontrollable pull from within.

This intimate peak into another world, Vasquez’s mind, has garnered a number of comparisons to some of the most iconic and influential bands of the post-punk and krautrock movement.

Live, the band takes on Justin Anastasi and Damon Way to help transform the listening experience cogently with an array of sound and light effects that translate the energy of the recordings.

Total Decay solidifies that The Soft Moon is on its own path, not to be compared. Just listen, hold the shadow of his hand on this journey into the darkness, as he whispers directions through the obstacles, to the light.

Listen to a short excerpt from the EP below.
