Stylistically, Saturday is immediately all but incomparable with that which preceded it a touch over twelve hours prior to. From thrash metal to trashy Italo disco-infused flamboyance, the creative pseudonym of Anton Maiof – Antoni Maiovvi – not only proves an elaborate persona equal parts James Murphy, Brett Anderson (that'll be the quasi-erotic striptease midway through in the middle of the floor) and David Brent but musically he constructs something of a DFA-designed one-man Soundsystem armed only with a reconfigured Wii remote.

The Soft Moon mastermind Luis Vasquez has released a new single, "Evidence", that was a collaborated effort with legendary electronic musician John Foxx and his new band The Maths. Download the new single below and see what Vasquez and Foxx had to say about each other. Read more »
After a pair of lauded releases in 2010's self-titled LP + 2011's Total Decay EP, The Soft Moon are proud to announce their forthcoming second LP, Zeros, due this fall for the ever-reliable Captured... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
Name: The Soft Moon Progress Report: Luis Vasquez talks about the recording of the Soft Moon's forthcoming sophomore LP. The Soft Moon's 2010 self-titled debut was a thing of gothy delight - eleven tracks of spooky bedroom electronics that created such a powerful, singular vision - of something beautiful, harrowing, and more than a little frightening - that the album was able to transcend its obvious influences. 2011's follow up EP, Total Decay , pulled off a similar trick - creating dark soundscapes that sounded both alien and weirdly [...]
The Soft Moon recently released this new song, which features Luis Vasquez and company collaborating with John Foxx And The Maths , the new band from former Ultravox singer John Foxx. It's an expansive-sounding synth pop song, brighter than we're used to from The Soft Moon to be sure, but definitely worth checking out.

Ya han pasado dos meses desde que The Soft Moon anuncio que su nuevo material ya estaba terminado y que proximamente nos estarian dando una fecha oficial de su lanzamiento y justo cuando son las 12:26 aca en México, seguimos sin ninguna informacion sobre ese material que en lo personal me tiene sumamente emocionado pero por otro lado, hace apenas unos minutos tomaron su recien inaugurado Twitter para postear esta colaboracion que hicieron con John Foxx de Ultravox y si nuevo proyecto de nombre The Maths y si, debo decir que no esperaba encontrarme con una colaboracion de [...]
All day today, we're playing celebrating Robert Smith's (April 21) by playing your favorite songs by The Cure and other goth favorites. As a genre and a style, "goth" is pretty easy to stereotype (see The Damned's "Grimly Fiendish" for a particularly campy version), but the truth is its influence spreads far and wide. Goth is a thread that connects industrial bands like Einstürzende Neubauten to romantic new wavers like Gene Loves Jezebel (though you'd never find their fans in the same room!) through all manner of dark if not mopey music. Gathered here you'll find indisputable Goth pioneers like [...]

Amo The Soft Moon , y realmente es una de las bandas que espero que algun dia visiten nuestro pais para poder degustar de ellos ya que su album debut sin duda es uno de los mejores materiales que he escuchado en los ultimos años dentro de los terrenos del goth y el post-punk y claro, el EP que editaron el año pasado de nombre " Total Decay " no se queda atras. El año pasado la mayor parte del tiempo la dedicaron a dar enormes cantidades de shows en vivo como uno que dieron exclusivamente para Mannequin [...]
All Tomorrow's Parties has snagged itself yet another reunion. Joining the already-reunited Afghan Whigs at this year's "I'll Be Your Mirror" UK music festival will be Washington, DC post-punk genre-benders The Make-Up. Comprised of ex-Nation of Ulyssses members, The Make-Up disbanded in 2000 following the release of five studio albums. According to ATP's website, the band reunited at the request of the festival for an exclusive UK performance. Below, check out video of the band performing on French TV. Other new additions to the "I'll Be Your Mirror" bill include Kool Keith's Ultramagnetic MCs, [...]

Talk about appropriate – two of our favorite San Francisco bands will be sharing the stage at The New Parish in Oakland this Wednesday, February 1st, for a night of danceable post punk and new wave–inspired noise rock. The Soft Moon - "Total Decay" If you missed Luis Vasquez and his band at Du Nord a couple of weeks ago , here's your chance to check out The Soft Moon , along with Weekend to sweeten the deal. [...]
Last Thursday, January 19th, Captured Tracks showcased two of their West Coast bands, The Soft Moon and Blouse at Cafe du Nord . This was The Soft Moon's first performance with a live drummer, and they destroyed du Nord just the way they did last time , properly with strobes and blown out volumes. Blouse, a coy, bedroom pop-style band from Portland, was equally appreciated by the large crowd. It was quite a packed venue - one of those rare nights where on the way in through the [...]

I should also mention Arthur Russell 's outstanding Let's Go Swimming 12", which got reissued with a previously unreleased bonus track. As for this year's releases, these are some of our favorites: Holy Other : With U Laurel Halo : Hour Logic Maria Minerva : Sacred [...]
Sono i dischi più belli dell'anno? No. Sono i dischi che ritengo musicalmente più importanti, criticamente più validi, culturalmente più rappresentativi? Macchè. Sono i dischi che vorrei che ascoltaste? Non necessariamente. Sono quelli che ho acoltato di più? Più o meno, ma non esattamente. Sono i dischi che ricorderò quando ripenserò all'anno che sta per concludersi? Ecco, ci siamo vicini. Sono i dischi che mi sono piaciuti di più, per motivi che non hanno sempre a che fare col disco stesso? Fuochino. Sono i miei dischi dell'anno. Ah [...]
![[75 - 61] 150 Tracks de 2011!](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3924467_lg.jpg)
Despues de una pausa de dos dias este conteo continua y como veran, poco a poco empiezan a salir los mejores tracks de tooodo el año o al menos, algunos de ellos. Cosas bizarras aparecieron y de cosas bizarras nos enteramos, pero dentro de todo lo bizarro tambien aparecieron cosas bizarramente increibles como las que escucharan dentro de estos 15 nuevos tracks que van desde proyectos que aunque basan su musica en algo mucho mas electronico, estan fuertemente influenciados por estilos que van desde el shoegaze hasta el black metal asi como algunos tracks pertenecientes a algunos materiales que han [...]
On a beau tenter de percer le mystère de The Soft Moon , celui-ci semble vouloir à jamais rester entier. Le one man band de Luis Vasquez s'enrôle d'une aura énigmatique, fascinant de sécheresse et de dureté. Seul repère, ce nom, semblant être la parfaite contraction du patronyme de l'ex-super band de Robert Wyatt et du célèbre morceau d' Echo & The Bunnymen … Et une fois encore, rien n'est moins sûr, le groupe semble vouloir nous laisser dans le flou total. Ce que l'on sait en revanche, c'est que l'album éponyme du San Franciscain aura coulé [...]
