\u201cThis record is all kink and no shame,\u201d says Adam Weiner of ART DEALERS, the tough, sexy and tender new album coming from Low Cut Connie. \u201cWith Low Cut Connie, I try to create a safe space for you to just absolutely get your freak on.\u201d<\/p>\n
For years now, Low Cut Connie has built its grassroots coalition of oddballs, underdogs, and fun-loving<\/p>\n
weirdos with songs that celebrate life on the fringes of polite society. The band\u2019s infamously wild, passionate live shows provide a total release \u2013 of stress, of inhibition, of shame \u2013 working up a primordial rock n roll sweat for fans to get blissfully soaked in. The new album, and its full-length companion film, sizzle with that same cathartic sweat, reminding us that it\u2019s time to get dirty again, and to feel alive. ART DEALERS sits at the intersection of sleazy and soulful \u2013 a collection of risky, romantic, life-affirming anthems, all dedicated to you.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think rock n roll exists to be a red-blooded, countercultural medium,\u201d says Weiner, who has performed under the Low Cut Connie moniker for over a decade, \u201cYou\u2019re supposed to get your hair messed-up.\u201d That imperative comes through in the adults-only tone of songs like the opening \u201cTell Me Something I Don\u2019t Know,\u201d a sinuous, lurid rocker that sounds like walking through depraved Times Square in 1978 \u2013 neon-lit and nasty with a snapping beat. The speedy, fuzzed-up garage-rocker \u201cWhips and Chains\u201d calls out Trump and the current wave of neo-fascism, without ever losing its boogie rhythm section.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s also tenderness behind the curtain here, as on the yearning first single \u201cAre You Gonna Run?\u201d and \u201cCall Out My Name\u201d, which evoke the sweet sad love that punky boys like the New York Dolls and the Ramones used to have for tough girls like the Ronettes and the Shangri-La\u2019s.<\/p>\n
