The Soft Moon is the debut studio album by American post-punk band the Soft Moon. It was released on November 16, 2010 by Captured Tracks.[1] The album was 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: "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]
