The Soft Moon will release the Deeper LP on March 31st via Captured Tracks. In preparation for the record, Luis Vasquez has released this new video for “Far“, the second single off the up-coming album. Directed by Y2K, which is the production team of Jason Lester and Severiano Martinez, the noir visuals find Vasquez haunting the streets of LA in a vintage Trans Am, pursued by his menacing doppelganger. Describing the psycho-drama of the video, Y2K explained:
“Far is the realm where unconscious desires reign, and the darkest tendencies take root and flourish. There, the hIDeous clone assaults the ego, the shadow self stalks the night, and a third Shroud embodies the two hemispheres locked in perpetual battle. The mirror cannot bear the strain of these fractured identities, and violence ricochets in all directions. It bends and warps, but never breaks. Like us, it holds an erratic balance together, even as voltaic forces rumble under the surface.”
