Today, the South Philadelphia-based rock ‘n’ roll artist Low Cut Connie announced his new album Art Dealers will be released on September 8 via Contender Records. “This record is all kink and no shame,” explains Adam Weiner. “With Low Cut Connie, I try to create a safe space for you to just absolutely get your freak on.”
Art Dealers is a love letter to Lou Reed and Patti Smith’s New York, and the reckless abandon of “the art life” laid against a gritty, decaying American backdrop. Arriving at the intersection of sleazy and soulful, the eighth album from Adam Weiner is a 13-song collection of risky, romantic, life-affirming anthems dedicated to a total liberation of body, spirit, gender and sexuality in the face of an increasingly tense political age.
With his incredibly loose and passionate band behind him, Weiner moves through explorations of gender fluid writing, indictments of modern neo-fascism and anti-semitism, and street sketches of those living on the edge. The album’s first single “Are You Gonna Run” is out today (below) and Art Dealers is now available for pre-order. Low Cut Connie will hit the road this summer for a nationwide tour that will include a three night stand at the Blue Note in New York City. Tickets are on sale now.
