Keven Tecon joined the band as a drummer in early 2012. The Soft Moon has taken cues from early synthpunk/post-punk bands such as Chrome, Suicide, Danse Society and The Units.

The Soft Moon was founded by Luis Vasquez as a solo project in 2009. He released two singles, "Breathe the Fire" and "Parallels", while working on his debut Self Titled LP. Prior to the release of the LP, Vasquez directed his energy into building a band around his project with the aim to deliver a full sensory experience within the context of live performance.

On January 19, 2024, The Soft Moon's official Instagram account published a post informing the death of Luis Vasquez.

Slow, slow me down
I thought I'll do...
Bring me...

Slow me, I'm dying
You and I, I'm crashing...

Slow, slow me down
I plead with you to slow me down and not let me rush recklessly into things.

I thought I'll do...
I believed I could handle everything on my own and didn't need anyone else's help.

Bring me...
I'm asking you to bring me something or someone to help pull me out of this mess I'm in.

Slow me, I'm dying
I am begging you to help me slow down and take care of myself because I am on the verge of collapse.

You and I, I'm crashing...
I feel like you and I are both headed for disaster and are about to come crashing down together.
