Rest In Peace Brother, you sound heavenly! Listening to this while thousands of feet up in the air!

[@AndrejStein]

Rest in peace Luis. Thank you for sharing your life and music with us. 😢

[@RogerM88]

Thanks for Kexp for presenting me The Soft Moon years ago. They became one of my favorite bands. Luis memory will be perpetuated through his music.

[@spraynardcollins9451]

RIP luis. saw you live three times. your music will stay with me for life.

[@Firefox1783]

Luis, I experienced your music in fall 2023. I wanted to write to you because your music touched me deeply. I didn‘t wrote you…now you‘re passed away, I‘m very sad about that. But your music will live on in my heart, RIP, mate…

[@JM-pw6kr]

I didn’t realize until I read more of the comments. This wonderful artist has passed away. That’s unfortunate. I listen to this band in the gym. Hitting weights very hard. Fentanyl, possibly. So unfortunate. Blessed to have been able to enjoy your creativity sir. You are in a much better place now!! Thank you for sharing your creativity.

[@MiguelGarcia-ue8zj]

Rest in peace Luis!!!! Such a good music!!!

[@terry10tnj]

Never heard of them before he died but I’m so glad I found them they are amazing. RIP❤

[@alhopkins185]

Sadly, I had never heard of the band until Luis' passing. Musically, they are/were right up my alley.

[@MelancholiaMacabre]

Rest in peace, Luis. We love you forever.💔🖤💔

[@spiritfluid]

I'm so happy people are still making this kind of music. :)

[@kristoferturner2194]

you sometimes have to dig deep to find it but its so worth it.

[@matrocious]

spiritfluid people do make music but these guys are playing it

[@hellinterface6721]

still playing it? You're watching live recordings on youtube does music still being played currently mean that much to you?

[@Gkuljian]

Really. I was wondering why I had never heard of them all these years, thinking they were from the 90's. Love it.

Savant. Beautiful, tortured, tragic being. I'm so sorry you didn't have more time here, but I believe it was precise. Thank you LV, for completing your mission, to save the lives of others by your blood. We will cherish you. Rest baby boy.

This live performance sounds identical to the studio. Quality work

[@LARSENALmtl]

Cool stuff.

[@AlphaConwulf]

LOVING this version of “Wrong” with the drumstick clicks, bongos and steel drum. Album version is still pretty good but those extra elements here live really give life to the song, no pun intended.

[@gingisek]

What a cool band, I love their vibe!

[@jjr.thegreatergood]

Great sound live too!''..glad they were well enough to continue through their cold..totally awesome experience. .
