Black Bordello
List Pick
July 27, 2026
Exploring a more playful side of their sound, South London's Black Bordello offer a punky new epic in 'Fugue'. Dipped in nostalgia, warbling orang sounds give a ceremonial sense of occasion to what's otherwise a spiky piece of theatrical psychedelia. Founder and creator Sienna Bordello's vocals are reminiscent of Poly Styrene here - filled with attitude and unencumbered idiosyncrasy. She explains: “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.” Arriving alongside the announcement of their new EP Midheaven Tempest (due September 28th via AWAL), 'Fugue' is an expectedly bold and highly accomplished start to Black Bordello's latest chapter.
