Soft Spot is the fourth album by alt-country band Clem Snide; as Eef Barzelay describes it, the album is the "good love songs" counterpart to the bad love songs of The Ghost of Fashion.
The album was produced by Joe Chiccarelli, who has produced Elton John, Frank Zappa, and Rufus Wainwright in the past; Barzelay (jokingly) told Rolling Stone that the reason Chiccarelli was talked into producing the album was that "he might have had some community service obligations or unpaid parking tickets." Half of the songs on the album were cut live.
