So a new Brandon Flowers song called “Swallow It” found it’s way onto the internet and you can hear it now. Flowers called this the most ambitious track on Flamingo. When asked about the song, he told spin:
“There’s a fair amount of experimentation on that song, but it’s still very much a pop song. I’m so proud of that one. That’s what I admired so much about bands like the Beatles. When they did experiment or go out on a limb a little bit, it was still accessible, it still made the world go ’round.”
The song does get better after a few repeated listens. Sort of sounds like something off of Sam’s Town, but that’s just me.
Stream it below:

I really like this song thou I wish the chorus wasn’t swallow it, but my mind is in the gutter.
