Black Bordello 'Acid Mary' by Sienna Bordello, Natasha Kinaru

Promonews - 1st July 2025

Black Bordello present an otherworldly music video for single, Acid Mary, directed by frontwoman Sienna Bordello and Natasha Kinaru. 

The band are known for their phantasmagorical aesthetics, with their films often featuring characters undergoing macabre metamorphoses. And it begins in a highly stylised drinking hall with chequered floors, where a number of shady characters sip whiskey and smoke over a poker game, like a scene from a classic movie.

Raging with a Cure-esque guitar hook, meandering basslines and vocals reminiscent of Siouxsie Sioux, the track tells a littoral elegy about romance with a siren. In the video Sienna enters and delivers her sermon, soon breaking into an uncontrollable fit which launches her and her chosen victim into dark ominous waters, where their courting dance soon turns to ethereal brutality.
