THE SOFT MOON

– REVEALS NEW TRACK ‘DESERTION’
– UK TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED
 – ALBUM ‘DEEPER’ OUT MARCH 30TH ON CAPTURED TRACKS

At the end of this month (March 30th) The Soft Moon, a.k.a Luis Vasquez, will release his third album Deeper via Captured Tracks. Today, Vasquez returns with the final preview of the album, third single ‘Desertion.’

Previous tastes of the album have come from lead single ‘Black,’ Trentemøller’s rework of the track, and a nightmarish video for the second single ‘Far.’ The dark, industrial, heavy notes of new single ‘Desertion’ showcase that the forthcoming album is The Soft Moon’s darkest & most personal record to date.

The voice of The Soft Moon has never been more clear and honest than it is on this record. With eerie, immersive tracks like the dogged “Far” and slow, beautifully melancholic “Wasting” (the first track written for Deeper), the album is a penetrating portrait of Vasquez as he wrestles thoughts of suicide, vulnerability and what it means to heal. By facing the most hopeless parts of himself without illusion and putting his past demons to bed, the creation of Deeper was an intense personal exploration of existence for Vasquez — old wounds were forcibly opened, deep anger and paranoia were manipulated into song — and he did not emerge unchanged. Deeper may have delivered Vasquez back to the waking world, but it willingly drags us further into The Soft Moon’s dark, euphonic universe once more.

We are also happy to announce today that, at the start of April, The Soft Moon will embark on a month-long North American tour. Immediately following that, he will head to Europe for the month of May.
