The slinky guitar line in Bad Flamingo’s “Days of Mellow” is a different vibe for the mysterious duo. But it embodies the title and the energy of the song. It’s like a loop that in an extended groove and riff manner is a little hypnotic. This time it’s not a song about desperate love and the hint of a dark past and being on the run. Instead lines like “I do have the time” and “Saturdays, cartoons” it’s one about relaxation and having the luxury of indulging a leisurely pace and not being on edge and ducking the consequences of perceived misdeeds. Yet for those more familiar with Bad Flamingos’ past work the song does retain the fantastic level of sonic detail with guitars, bass and percussion going off the main stream of sounds in a playful way that lends the music a playful and cinematic quality.
