Whether working with his project the Soft Moon or on his own, composer/multi-instrumentalist Luis Vasquez took an unflinching look at the darkness within. On Soft Moon albums such as 2015's Deeper and 2018's Criminal, he used cathartic post-punk and industrial to vent his frustrations, but on 2021's A Body of Errors -- his first album under his own name -- his haunting instrumentals rivaled the work of John Carpenter or Bobby Krlic. When Vasquez died in 2024, he left behind a legacy of raw, honest, and frequently beautiful music.
