A perennial favourite of ours, masked troubadours Bad Flamingo are back on our pages with a stripped-back wonder. It’s called Hold Up The Lighter.

By Graeme Smith

Hold Up The Lighter sees Bad Flamingo strip things back for a smouldering country rock number. Expressive, charismatic vocals are the star of the show, purring over minimal, fuzzy guitar. They deliver lyrics that will paint pictures in your mind, rich with imagery and a certain darkness. As the track goes on, things grow, and arrive at a chanting finale.

There’s such a uniqueness to what Bad Flamingo do that I simply cannot recommend their music enough. If you get a chance, head back over our pages to check out their previous releases.

Hold Up The Lighter is out now and you can give it a listen below.
