“The Soft Moon's Criminal proves freeing for Luis Vasquez”
“On his fourth album as the Soft Moon, post-punk auteur Luis Vasquez finally breaks from a whisper into a scream.”
“On his fourth LP, California’s The Soft Moon (musician and producer Luis Vasquez) mines a more lateral vein of industrial rock than 2015’s neo-darkwave ‘Deeper’. ‘I wish I could be somebody else,’ strains Vasquez on ‘Burn’, flipping Trent Reznor’s animalistic libido inward, to the same hyperviolent EBM pulse. What is industrial rock without a tall glass of the dark stuff? ‘Criminal’ finds Vasquez ”
