Rare Villains
Embezzlementals

hpll049 | Release Date: 2010-03-22

Rare Villains, the dutch duo of Joey Joe and James the Red Engine, create a blunted blend of late night instrumental jeep beats, informed as much by pulp comic books, cheeba and trash tv, as by the classic sounds of east coast hip hop.

With a chunky low-end undercarriage, the ten tracks on the album warp and bend synth melodies, weaving rhythms between start-stop boombap beats and vertigo-inducing drops, culminating in a 30 minute beat tape through the seedy backstreets of the european criminal underworld!

Alongside the normal digital distribution, the album will be released in a limited-run CDR physical package, hand stamped and numbered, bundled in clear 5" DVD style cases, with artwork drawn by the villainous duo themselves.
