Luis Vasquez, the Bay Area darkwaver who records as the Soft Moon, has announced a follow-up album to 2018's Criminal. The new full-length is called Exister and is out September 23. Its lead single is a Nine Inch Nails-sounding cut called "Him" featuring fish narc. "Him" also has a music video directed by Wiggy and Nick Blanco.
"I struggle with ‘good side/bad side’ endlessly," Vasquez reveals about his new single. "'Him' recounts that battle, expressing the turmoil it brings into my life."
Vasquez adds about the video: "I am persistently running away from something devilish on my shoulders tempting me into mischievous behavior portrayed by fish narc." Watch and listen below, and have a look at the extensive fall 2022 tour Vasquez is going on in support of Exister.
