The Soft Moon is the brainchild of Luis Vasquez, an artist whose work dives deep into the realms of post-punk, darkwave, and industrial music. Launched in 2009, The Soft Moon began as Vasquez's solo project, originating in Oakland, California, and has since evolved into a compelling force within the underground music scene. Influenced by a blend of early post-punk and electronic music, Vasquez's project stands out for its haunting melodies, introspective lyrics, and dense, atmospheric sounds, which explore themes of inner turmoil, existential angst, and the darker recesses of the human psyche.

Over the years, The Soft Moon has expanded its discography with a series of critically acclaimed albums and singles that showcase Vasquez's prowess in crafting soundscapes that are both viscerally emotional and eerily detached. The recent releases, such as "Exister" and its corresponding instrumental, remixed versions, along with singles like "Monster," "Unforgiven," and "Become The Lies," further push the boundaries of The Soft Moon's sound. These works incorporate elements of techno and EBM, demonstrating Vasquez's continuous evolution and his ability to reimagine the project's sonic footprint. Through relentless touring and consistently innovative releases, The Soft Moon has garnered a devoted fanbase and remains a significant and influential presence in the alternative and electronic music scenes.
