Rock A Rolla Review of Tenebrous Liar’s Last Stand Since 2007's self titled album Steve Gullick has been busying himself assembling a far more focused set of brooding songs, fusing Cohen, Earth and the more dissonant aspects of Queens Of The Stone Age and, whisper it, Nirvana, into a raging slab of aural murk that brings to mind the same unease a Halloween jaunt round an abandoned asylum might. Recorded in one session with friend and Spiritualized conspiritor Richard Warren, songs such as "Doomed", "One Way Love" and aching opener "Blood Moon" create a scintillating claustrophobia as the expansive guitar and organ driven sound fills every possible free space. Closer "Last Stand" is a full on declaration of war and makes you pray the title is merely in jest.
