The Soft Moon embarks on a full US Tour with Boy Harsher starting next week. More information and full itinerary below.<\/p>\n<p>Luis Vasquez offered an insight into the meaning behind this track, saying &#8220;<i>&#8216;You give something when I give nothing&#8217; communicates my failure to reciprocate love. Having no control over the constant urge to sabotage all things that are good for me, there is irony and frustration in knowing that in the end, the impossibility of love is what will ultimately save me from myself.<\/i>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video for <em>Give Something<\/em> via YouTube below.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vFA79SbTUVo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Criminal&#8217; 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.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Soft Moon + Boy Harsher &#8211; North American tour dates<\/b><\/p>\n<p>03\/27 &#8211; Philadelphia, PA &#8211; Johnny Brenda\u0092s<br \/>\n03\/28 &#8211; Brooklyn, NY &#8211; Music Hall of Williamsburg<br \/>\n03\/29 &#8211; Montreal, QC &#8211; Theatre Fairmount<br \/>\n03\/30 &#8211; Toronto, ON &#8211; Longboat Hall<br \/>\n03\/31 &#8211; Chicago, IL &#8211; Empty Bottle<br \/>\n04\/02 &#8211; Saint Paul, MN &#8211; Turf Club<br \/>\n04\/04 &#8211; Denver, CO &#8211; Larimer Lounge<br \/>\n04\/06 &#8211; Portland, OR &#8211; Mississippi Studios<br \/>\n04\/07 &#8211; Seattle, WA &#8211; The Crocodile<br \/>\n04\/08 &#8211; Vancouver, BC &#8211; BIltmore Cabaret<br \/>\n04\/11 &#8211; San Francisco, CA &#8211; The Independent<br \/>\n04\/13 &#8211; Los Angeles, CA &#8211; Teragram Ballroom<br \/>\n04\/14 &#8211; San Diego, CA &#8211; Casbah<br \/>\n04\/16 &#8211; Las Vegas, NV &#8211; The Bunkhouse<br \/>\n04\/17 &#8211; Phoenix, AZ &#8211; Valley Bar<br \/>\n04\/19 &#8211; Dallas, TX &#8211; Three Links<br \/>\n04\/20 &#8211; Austin, TX &#8211; Barracuda<br \/>\n04\/21 &#8211; San Antonio, TX &#8211; Paper Tiger<br \/>\n04\/22 &#8211; New Orleans, LA &#8211; Gasa Gasa<br \/>\n04\/24 &#8211; Gainesville, FL &#8211; The Wooly<br \/>\n04\/25 &#8211; Miami, FL &#8211; Gramps<br \/>\n04\/26 &#8211; Tampa, FL &#8211; The Crowbar<br \/>\n04\/27 &#8211; Atlanta, GA &#8211; Aisle 5<br \/>\n04\/28 &#8211; Asheville, NC &#8211; The Mothlight<br \/>\n04\/29 &#8211; Washington, DC &#8211; DC9<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Soft Moon &#8211; European Summer tour dates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>05\/18 &#8211; Lohr am Main, DE &#8211; Umsonst und Drinnen<br \/>\n06\/02 &#8211; Lourmarin, FR &#8211; Yeah Festival<br \/>\n06\/04 &#8211; Tours, FR &#8211; Aucard de Tours Festival<br \/>\n06\/06 &#8211; Caen, FR &#8211; Le Cargo<br \/>\n06\/07 &#8211; Angouleme, FR &#8211; La Nef<br \/>\n06\/08 &#8211; Annecy, FR &#8211; Stereolithe<br \/>\n06\/10 &#8211; Moscow, RU &#8211; BOLb Festival<br \/>\n06\/22 &#8211; Amiens, FR &#8211; Minuit Avant La Nuit<br \/>\n07\/21 &#8211; Herk de Stad, BE &#8211; Rock Herk Festival<br \/>\n08\/14 &#8211; Dortmund, DE &#8211; FZW Club<br \/>\n08\/15 &#8211; Wiesbaden, DE &#8211; Schlachthof<br \/>\n08\/16 &#8211; Osnabruck, DE &#8211; Kleine Freiheit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Following the release of his recent album\u00a0&#8216;Criminal&#8217; via Sacred Bones, The Soft Moon, aka Luis Vasquez, has shared a new video for album standout track <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=28689\" title=\"The Soft Moon shares new video for &#8216;Give Something&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28690,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[22,23,28,29],"tags":[6775,7333,6934,3282,1206],"class_list":["post-28689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-music","category-music-video","tag-criminal","tag-give-something","tag-kelsey-henderson","tag-sacred-bones","tag-the-soft-moon"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/38655442576_1dfe72a92f_z.jpg?fit=640%2C427&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-7sJ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":27470,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=27470","url_meta":{"origin":28689,"position":0},"title":"The Soft Moon shares &#8216;It Kills&#8217; video + announces US tour","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"November 30, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Last month, The Soft Moon - aka Luis Vasquez - announced his signing to Sacred Bones and his fourth studio album 'Criminal' due for release on February 2nd.
