Bad Flamingo - “Miles”
The mysterious and mystical duo known as Bad Flamingo are back at it with the indie rock-infused sounds of “Miles,” which we happily add to their stack of blog features.
We still know nothing about these two indie songstresses, only that their music continues to enchant listeners from across multiple genres, garnering close to 80k monthly Spotify listeners and landing themselves within numerous editorial playlists. With “Miles,” listeners are subjected to more of the duo’s dark and dusty sound, kicking things off with some chugging, gritty notes from an electric guitar.
The vocal performance is next to arrive, just as bewilderingly sultry as ever, delivering lines of lyrics that wrap around the hearts and minds of all who hear, likely casting some sort of spell that leaves us eternally longing for more. But the real dark magic here lies in the melody of the hook, which effortlessly sinks its musical claws into the fleshy part of your listening experience.
Complete with a digitally driven rhythm, additional layers of vocals find their place across a soundscape that has been populated with reverse-tape effects and multiple guitar textures. “Miles” is delivered via a slow and steady crescendo, with ghostly moments of lead guitar that light the path– perfect for all of your gritty, introspective playlists.
