Get Out the Lotion is the debut album by Philadelphia-based indie rock band Low Cut Connie. The band self-released the album on January 1, 2011, after debuting it on New Year's Eve at Philadelphia's Old Swedes' Church.[1]
Background and recording
[edit | edit source]The songs on the album were a combination of songs written by Low Cut Connie's two songwriters—Adam Weiner and Dan Finnemore—both of whom were already members of their own bands at the time. The album was recorded over a four-day period at the Gainesville, Florida studio of the band's guitarist Neil Duncan, who also engineered the album.[2]
