‘the Sex Pistols trapped in a swamp’
ARTROCKER
'Ballsy and brooding, primordial industrial rhythms and swelling psychedelic feedback'
NME
‘Ultimately, this debut occupies a murky place in a collective musical psyche that may make your stereo frown. It’s not pretty, it’s largely devoid of hope and direction, yet – crucially - it still has the power to uplift. It’s really good.’
MOJO
Musically their second album Last Stand recalls Shellac, Liars and Nirvana at their most bloody-minded and amusical.’
THE QUIETUS
‘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’
****UNCUT
'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
‘Tenebrous Liar purvey a dark, doomed and deliciously damaged style of cosmic/ambient rock melancholy, which is nevertheless hugely uplifting’
