Easily one of London's most unique outfits, Black Bordello dig deep on 'Numb-Lock'. Transforming deeply personal pain into a sweeping Bond-theme, vocalist and songwriter Sienna Bordello is at her most powerful here. Glamorous, taunting and somber, in her own words: "'Numb-Lock' is an orchestral alternative-pop ballad that confronts the lasting impact of physical abuse and the difficult journey toward healing." Utilising her phenomenal songwriting and vocal skills to deliver a massive fuck you, 'Numb-Lock' is a idiosyncratic masterpiece that inspires awe in every way.
