Tenebrous Liar (formerly known as Tenebrous) is a musical pseudonym of famed NME photographer and Careless Talk Costs Lives (magazine) founder Steve Gullick.
Tenebrous Liar started as solo home recording project, inspired by the onset of boredom and depression in between photoshoots.
Since conception in 2005, the project grew in membership to become a four-part rock group and has gone on to record multiple studio albums. Throughout the years Tenebrous Liar has experienced frequent line up changes with Gullick remaining as the only constant member of the group. The band cites its musical influences to be acts such as Neil Young, Nirvana, The Stooges and The Velvet Underground. In contrast to this, reviewers and critics often describe the music as having a darker tone, using terms such as grimy rock and bleak to describe the group's music.
Tenebrous Liar have released 7 full length studio albums, the most recent four being released on TV Records, produced by labelmate Richard Warren.
Tenebrous Liar have played live with many artists over the years including Foo Fighters, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Soulsavers, The Magic Numbers, Will Oldham, Richard Warren, Josh T. Pearson, Black Spiders, Oxbow (band), The Icarus Line, Arrows of Love, Blood Red Shoes, Underground Railroad (band), Cindytalk, John & Jen, Ed Harcourt and Scout Niblett.
