Rating: 5 out of 5.
Another delightfully dark-edged creation that instantly transports you to the grit-stained old west.
The delightfully mysterious duo known as Bad Flamingo is back with a brand-new release, and it’s everything fans have come to expect—bold, atmospheric, and beautifully enigmatic. Known for their country-tinged sound and iconic mask-wearing aesthetic, the pair, known only as The One on the Left (vocals, guitar, bass, banjo) and The One on the Right (vocals, banjo, autoharp, tambourine), continue to let the music speak louder than their identities.
Their latest single, “Miles,” is an alternative rock ballad steeped in moody guitar textures, rich rustic tones, and vivid storytelling. The track evokes a haunting, cinematic feel—one that echoes through the lyrics and visuals alike. Lines like “You pulled me down like the sun, orange and red and then there was nothing and no one,” and “We were wild for miles, you could hear me from the next county screaming your name,” weave a poetic tale of nostalgia, passion, and wild, untamed nights.
Accompanying the single is a striking black-and-white video with a noir twist—one that perfectly complements the song’s eerie, Old West atmosphere. Bad Flamingo once again prove that their music isn’t just something you listen to—it’s something you step into, full of grit, mystery, and vintage soul.
Fans of previous releases like “Frying Pan,” “The Devil Knows,” and “Parked in the Lot” will find “Miles” to be another mesmerizing addition to their genre-defying discography.
So go ahead—press play, and lose yourself in the wickedly wonderful world of Bad Flamingo.
