"Hole"
stands out as perhaps the darkest release from Bad Flamingo, yet paradoxically,
the song is both exhilarating and intoxicating. The explosive entry of the
harmonica around the two-minute mark triggers the plunge into the depths of the
darkness, although the conclusion is nearly as overcast.
The vocals
and instrumentation are consistent with the now-established unapparelled sound
from Bad Flamingo. They generate a creative combination of Rock, Folktronica
and Spaghetti Western, with a touch of Psychedelia. Individually, the voices
project a determined confidence that is enhanced by the instrumental arrangement.
Together, they have a mesmerizing vocal chemistry, a balance of numerous shared
characteristics with notable differences that offer an engaging contrast.
Little
is known about Bad Flamingo. Their names are not available on the band’s
website or social media platforms. Instead, they are referenced as the “one on
the left” and “the one on the right.” Bad Flamingo only appear in masks, with
the explanation “Give a man a mask, and he will tell you the truth” (quoting Oscar
Wilde).
