“Become The Lies” has just been launched as the second single from The Soft Moon‘s next full-length outing, “Exister“. A music video co-directed by Wiggy & Nick Blanco accompanies this newly shared track, which arrives well ahead of the September 23rd release date Sacred Bones Records have scheduled for “Exister“.
The Soft Moon mastermind Luis Vasquez shared some insight behind the song, offering:
“I had an identity crisis after discovering dark secrets about my family’s past. This happened while I was writing the album and it destroyed me. ‘Become The Lies‘ expresses how everything I thought I knew about my life was untrue. Lies, shame and guilt have been a recurring theme in my music.
I explored it in ‘Criminal‘, but during the writing process of ‘Exister‘ I became more self-aware and finally understood that I was never the liar in the story. I wanted to dance in the video to contrast with the lack of control I felt over my life in that moment. It’s my way of shaking off the bad stuff. It’s also an escape from the seriousness of this song.”
