A mysterious noir country-infused alternative rock gem that’ll instantly transport you to the Old West.
The enigmatic pair, collectively known as Bad Flamingo, are devoted to country music. The mysterious musical duo, recognized as The One on the Left (handling vocals, guitar, bass, and banjo) and the One on the Right (contributing vocals, banjo, autoharp, and tambourine), intentionally conceal their true identities. Embracing the philosophy reflected in an Oscar Wilde quote – “Give a man a mask, and he will tell you the truth” – Bad Flamingo has previously delivered tracks like “The Devil and the Deep Blue,” “White T Shirt,” “Mountain Road,” and “Howlin at the Moon.” Their latest release is the alternative rock single “I Drink Alone.”
With a gradual and contemplative build, accompanied by poignant tones and dynamic guitars, “I Drink Alone” constructs a cinematic soundscape that beautifully complements the song’s expressive narrative. Lyrics such as “It’s thunder and lightning, It’s deafening and blinding, Do you really want the storm?” and “The milk and honey, My flesh and bone, All that you see here, but I drink alone” weave an enchantingly dark tale reminiscent of a spaghetti western. Infused with haunting, sultry vocals and an abundance of rich, rustic charm, Bad Flamingo presents another mysterious, noir country-infused alternative rock gem that effortlessly transports listeners to the Old West. So, hit play and immerse yourself in the captivating narrative of “I Drink Alone.”
