Two months after the recent ‘Aerosol Can Stand’ 7”, James Fella’s long-running group Soft Shoulder returns with 10 tracks recorded throughout 2018-2019 at various live performances, at their practice space and in some cases, fragments of both settings collaged together at home. While not providing definitive versions of any new “songs”, Contextual Depreciation appears as a mile marker for the group’s approach in the late 2010s: jagged post punk, slow-churning junk-kraut from the Sonoran desert.
