Apr 25, 2013This sophomore effort sheds off the fat and pins down his point: clout, capital, and dedication bubbling over into a synth-pop opus so deliciously evil and devastatingly singular it deserves its own cult.
-
MagnetJan 4, 2013It's a clever set, no doubt, and ably built. But for the Soft moon's work to sound weightier, Vasquez may need to push his limits more aggressively. [No. 94, p.59]
-
UncutDec 11, 2012While the lack of any sound less than 30 years old does occasionally grate, Zeros ends up capturing a sinister cinematic vibe than John Carpenter would be proud of. [Jan 2013, p.82]
-
Nov 14, 2012Its intensity has style, whatever Zeros lacks in substance or license, and an enjoyably infectious pulse that's consistent up until the final bits of backwards sound rotates during ƨbnƎ ƚI.
-
Nov 9, 2012They leave Soft Moon's second album on a multi-faceted, adventurous note, though one that remains dark and eerie.
-
Nov 5, 2012The echoic wisps and nebulous smoke clouds from their first album have been significantly dialled-back, resulting in a more taut, wiry sound that feels both more focussed and more sinister.
-
Nov 2, 2012Vasquez's knack for atmosphere was there from the beginning, but he's becoming a better, more defined songwriter.
-
Oct 31, 2012While the fury he displayed on Total Decay is sometimes missed, by the time "sdnE tI" brings the album full circle (or is that full zero?), it reveals Zeros as some of the Soft Moon's most fully realized and satisfying music.
-
Oct 31, 2012The main surprise on Zeros, though, is that this still sounds like a solo project from Luis Vasquez, rather than a full band effort.
-
Oct 30, 2012They are a group that exist solely to make abstruse, dark and head spinning noise. As such, Zeros accomplishes its goals very well.
-
Oct 30, 2012Vasquez certainly isn't tiring of this, as he's fine-tuned his sound even further so it reflects its influences, yet still allows him to chase his personal muses.
-
Oct 30, 2012It's a minimalist approach that started on the Soft Moon's outstanding 2010 self-titled debut full-length, and continues here with each composition taking on an overall instrumental feel despite the occasional presence of lyrical accompaniment.
