"I drove by the steeple / and I wanted to sin / and do all the things / that people swear to stop doin'..."
Running on a ratcheting percussion, country blues acoustic guitar, ambling drunken bass, a stoic beat and Bad Flamingo's signature smoky snarling vocal presence, "Numb" feels like simmering persuasion, a nagging predilection or addiction to do something not condoned by any Holy Book because the world (micro or macro) is so pervasively f'd up that numbing the pain is just the best thing to do. Now, with any review, analysis, interpretation you never really know if you are talking about the song / artist or just basically yourself. The sonics, the pushed groove, the storytelling feels not only filled with wanton desire but also feels drawn with melancholia or maybe even a disquieting apathy.
"Numb" is a cool, evocative track that feels destined to grace a Netflix or Hulu binger. It is that kind of track with it's swampy, country rock noir nature. It feels like a song seeded from an even darker back story, doesn't it?? All I know is it ends too soon.
