The Soft Moon premieres the caustic emulsions of “Choke”

The Soft Moon has released the third video from the upcoming fourth studio album ‘Criminal’out February 2nd, 2018 via Sacred Bones.

This time minimal and pixelated text scrolls up and down a static screen in the Kelsey Henderson directed video for the numbing and percussive emulsions that is “Choke”—a song about the amplifying and anesthetizing effects of a problematic substance to which many musicians are not unfamiliar.

“I created ‘Choke’ as a theme song to my recurring corruptive behavior,” says Vasquez. “It’s emblematic of my sleepless nights, wandering the streets of Berlin like some paranoid animal, while capturing the unbearable sound of my pulsating heart deep inside my chest. Full of ego and full of fear at the same time”
