Two Canadian Priestner brothers who&#8217;d never written a song together until a year ago and a crazy Slovakian guitar virtuoso named Lubo. Go figure. Not crooked in the sense they&#8217;re criminals, in fact, they barely have a speeding ticket between them. Crooked in the sense that they see the world a little crooked, telling stories with slants. Rare Americans sing for characters who rarely take the straight path. Catchy because they like catchy music and this way if no one else likes it at least they can enjoy belting out these classics at family dinner. That&#8217;s highly unlikely, however, this record is fucking good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Rare Americans release their debut self-titled album, &#8216;Rare Americans&#8217;.
