The Soft Moon - Exister (Fuzz Club Edition)
āThe whole point of this record was to share every emotion that I feel,ā says The Soft Moonās Luis Vasquez. āNo two songs are the same. Itās about existing in the world as a human being and experiencing many emotions and experiences throughout life.ā
And so hence the titleĀ Exister, a record rooted in the ecstatic joys and crippling lows that life can throw up and how just hanging on and existing is sometimes all we have. āExisterĀ is my way of saying āIām here, deal with it.āā Vasquez says. Sonically, this expression is a vast, expansive, and potent one. The opening āSad Songā, which unfurls with a dense brooding atmosphere, Vasquez describes as almost a ballad, while tracks such as āThe Pitā capture the opposite end of the musical spectrum, exploding as a thundering piece of industrial techno complete with gut-churning levels of bass.
āMonsterā - a song that follows a human metamorphosis into an unrecognizable and destructive being - seamlessly combines a deeply melodic, almost electro pop, vocal hook with a slow build atmospherics to create something equally beautiful and unsettling. āBecome the Liesā explores the devastating consequences of being lied to by your own family and is a post-punk stomper, merging charging basslines, pummelling drums and snaking guitars, all of which combine explosively. Elsewhere the album runs the gauntlet of everything from ambient to dark wave - features ferocious guest contributions from fish narc and Special Interestās Alli Logot on āHimā and āUnforgivenā - all while retaining that distinct tone that unmistakably The Soft Moon.
