The Soft Moon is the first full-length studio recording from American post-punk band The Soft Moon. It was released on November 16, 2010 through Captured Tracks.[1] The album is said to have been recorded over the span of a year in frontman Luis Vasquez's apartment.[3] Writing, composition, recording, production, and album art are credited to Vasquez.[4] Vasquez commented on the album in an interview with Fact Magazine, "The first LP was more spontaneous and less focused mainly because the songs were never intended to reach the public’s ears. Each song was just a different way to reach inside myself and pull out memories from the past."[5] The album was well received upon its release.[6]
