LIP SERVICE (feat. seep minutes)

HANKYOVAIN lands on the Hanshin Expressway at full speed from the Meteor Highway, pressing the accelerator even harder. In the passenger seat sits seep minutes.
Expectations about what they'd create next were met once more: an alternative flavor crafted with electro-funk essence woven into every corner of their self-taught juke/footwork, yet upon closer inspection, it's unmistakably HANKYOVAIN's signature blend of gloss and grit-a sweat-inducing sound only they could produce.
Then there's seep minutes' approach, infusing inflection into his naturally varied, low-toned rap.
His soft, ethereal flow, lyrics with strong contours (he says he was heavily inspired by Japanese cinema), and the refrain of that memorable hook gradually intertwine with the groove, soaking into the track's sense of speed.
VAINDO Catalog No. 3002 single release charges forward, maintaining that sense of elation right to the end.
