Watch: The Soft Moon “Wasting”

592


The Soft Moon‘s stellar LP Deeper is out now on Captured Tracks, and today we check out Luis Vasquez‘s new video for his cut, “Wasting“. Y2K, the production team of Jason Lester and Severiano Martinez, return to direct these dark visuals, while continuing the mysterious story they first laid out several months back in their video for “Far“. In this newest effort, the Oscar nominated actor Robert Forster (Breaking Bad, Mulholland Drive, Medium Cool, Jackie Brown) stars as The Doctor, while Luis and model/musician Natalia Selevanova play The Patients. Opening up where “Far” left off, “Wasting” begins with Vasquez floating in a bath of milky liquid, but this time we see the sadistic doctor grimly preparing him a syringe. Later the patients are made to wear strange, hypnagogic goggles while they are subjected to an eye scarring array of strobbing visuals. Organ farming, neural reordering…not quite sure what’s going on here, but it ain’t good!
