Tuesday, 18 September 2007Tenebrous Liar - approaching happy on Fire records Tenebrous Liar - Approaching Happy / Nude As The News Released July 23rd 2007 Tenebrous Liar softly bashes you over the head like a melodic shellac, and like Steve Albini, rock and roll wasn't his first successful undertaking. Steve Gullick is a professional photographer who, among other things shot Chan Marshall's Greatest cover. Maybe that's the connection to the B-side, a cover of Nude as the News where the track really benefits from this open low-fi room sound, it's a nice contrast to the hushed intimacy of the Chan version. If you can get past this inside joke name, there's elements of dead meadow and Smog: that almost 60's distortion groan, deep purposeful singing, and plenty of room noise and bleeding sounds thrown in for good measure. These are Albini sounding drums, deep, garage, undampened hits with Gullick sounding more like a Lou Reed, bringing some sexy back to this stripped down, nicely low-fi stuff. It's on Fire records.
