‘Tenebrous Liar’s finest hour. “Suffer You”
& “No Guiding Light” are fine grunge-pop, borne
by basslines borrowed from Joy Division, while the epic title
track builds adroitly from Birthday Party blues into a thing
of thunderous ferocity’

REVIEWS
“Imagine Lift To Experience stuck in the eternal damnation
their songs tried to escape from, but with a result more ashcan
reality than spiritually vivid.”
Drowned in Sound
"moody and intense, occasionally terrifyingly primal,
country-blues soundscapings".
Time Out
“If Leonard Cohen brings a smile to your face and you
are partial to a bit of low-fi then Tenebrous Liar is the
band for you.”
The Sun
“brooding songs, fusing Cohen, Earth and the more dissonant
aspects of Queens of the Stone Age and, whisper it, Nirvana
- a raging slab of aural murk that brings to mind the same
unease a Halloween jaunt round an abandoned asylum might.
Rock – A - Rolla
“their music is dark, demented, and deliberate, characterized
by murky, lo-fi, feedback-drenched guitars and sludgy rhythms
that heave like a spluttering locomotive – gloom-laiden,
world-weary vocals, conjuring up hints of Codeine, Flipper,
and Pavement.”
The Big Takeover USA
“In
an intimate Soho club, Tenebrous Liar make a stand for mavericks
everywhere. The rotating members, centred around mouthpiece
Steve Gullick, tailor their exquisite avant-garde Americana
to suit the occasion, with a living music that fills every
corner of the room”
NME
"Musically their second album Last Stand recalls Shellac,
Liars and Nirvana at their most bloody-minded and amusical."
The Quietus
"Dinosaur Jr meets Nirvana's In Utero – yep, it's
not pretty and it sure ain't going to win any Brit awards,
but its macabre melancholy is stunningly executed, complete
with jagged Velvet Underground guitar."
Selby Times
"Tenebrous Liar’s Last Stand is at it’s best
during the slowest moments, when the guitars are drawn out
in all their dark, jagged, droning, menacing glory; the vocals
almost playing second fiddle, but reinforcing the darkness
and the feeling of vast emptiness and unknowns that the provocative
artwork of an inky skyline and menacing forest first invokes."
Subba Culture
"From the hyperactive two-short-plank riffing of early
Nirvana, to Dinosaur Jr’s laconic fuzz-splurges, to Mudhoney’s
sack-o-bricks lurches and Tad and The Melvins’ ear sludge,
the album ‘Tenebrous Liar’s Last Stand’, from
his band Tenebrous Liar, is a veritable inventory of that
era in American underground music. And not just that, it’s
catalogued damn well and in such a way that they can probably
count Nick Cave’s Grinderman and whatever band Mark Lanegan
is involved in this week as current peers."
Crud Magazine
"It comes across as such an organic album. Whilst it
won’t be charging up the charts any time soon, this is
a record which, given time, will grow in both sound and stature.
And there just aren’t enough of those around these days."
isthismusic.com
"The band's second album, Last Stand, at times recalls
the miserable post-punk of Joy Division and occasionally the
lo-fi indie of Slint's brilliant Spiderland."
