Black Bordello will release their new EP ‘Midheaven Tempest’ on September 18th via AWAL.
The South East London outfit is led by the virtuosic Sienna Bordello, and comprised of Daniel Gowers on drums and backing vocals, Melody Wayfare on keyboards and backing vocals, Jerome Alexandre on lead guitar, and Nick Dimitriov on bass.
The band tease the EP experience with psych-rock escapade ‘Fugue’, which winds and shifts between Velvet Underground fuzz, Black Heart Procession gloom, and Nick Cave–esque refrains, while gesturing to the future.
The artful track is grounded by Sienna’s theatrical voice and vivid songwriting.
Speaking on the single, vocalist Sienna Bordello says: “Fugue is a joyful stab into the cardboard cutouts on the set of society’s stage. It’s our gift to music nerds, inspired by Bach.”
Produced by Balazs Altsach, ‘Midheaven Tempest’ expands the band’s sound into darker and more expansive territory, blending industrial textures, trip-hop atmosphere, gothic rock, and chamber arrangements into a cohesive but unsettled whole.
Tune in now.
