The Cucumbers is an album by the American band the Cucumbers, released in 1987.[1][2] It was a success on college radio stations.[3] The band supported the album with a North American tour.[4]
Recorded in London with a budget of $15,000, the album was produced by David Young.[5][6] The singers and guitarists Deena Shoshkes and Jon Fried, who wrote the songs, were backed by John Williams on bass and Yuergen Renner on drums.[7] The band enjoyed being away from the cutthroat New York City recording environment.[8] Many of the songs are about relationships, the daily experience of living with a domestic partner, obstacles in life, and learning how to adjust to disappointment.[9][10] Profile Records asked the Cucumbers to rerecord "My Boyfriend", which had appeared on their first EP.[11] "My Town" is about the demographic and commercial transformation of Hoboken.[12] "Don't Drop the Baby" was written after Fried became an uncle.[7]
