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]
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]
Several music critics, such as Ken Tucker and Robert Christgau, gave the album favorable reviews upon its release. Tucker, along with a reviewer writing for Blurt Magazine, also compared the album's music to Jerry Lee Lewis.[3] Similarly, Guitar World described the album's music as "swampy, Fifties-inspired American rock and roll."[4]
Get Out the Lotion was ranked as the 35th best album on Robert Christgau's "Dean's List" for 2011,[5] and was also ranked #7 on Merrill Garbus' list of her 10 favorite albums of 2011.[6] Ken Tucker also ranked it as his 7th favorite album of 2011.[7]
