    Dear All Tomorrow's Parties: Book this band immediately and meet your future.

    The Soft Moon's mission to transcend all levels of tolerance and pleasure via the conduit of sound is well and truly accomplished.

    Total Decay's long, cinematic shadow stretches much further than ever expected from four songs in 15 minutes.

    It's short and intense, and accordingly it hits hard and leaves enough of a lasting bruise on you that you can't help but touch it, just to feel the pain again.

    It may be only four songs long, but Vasquez makes up for its small size by packing even more ominous drones and evil-sounding synths into it.

    Total Decay's main drawback is its lack of contrast.
