Following the release of his latest album ’Criminal’ earlier this year via Sacred Bones, The Soft Moon, aka Luis Vasquez, has shared a haunting new music video for Like A Father along with newly added European live dates for this summer which will take place following two London shows at Meltdown Festival this June.
Speaking about the track, Vasquez explains “”Like a Father” is the result of a life long internalization in regards to the abandonment of my father.”
Watch the Like a Father video via YouTube below.
‘Criminal’ is a confessional work. Through the stark lens of shame and guilt that has followed Luis Vasquez since a violent childhood growing up within the humming ambient sprawl of 80s Mojave Desert, here he documents the gut-wrenching sound of going to war with himself. Battling with his own sanity, self-hatred, insecurity, self-entitlement and grappling with the risk of these things transforming him into a person he despises, Vasquez has laid his feelings bare with this: his confession and most self-reflective work to date.
