*SONS / Press

"the best threads of Viracochas suggest that *SONS is one of the brightest new bands in the Triangle, juxtaposing kaleidoscopic psychedelics and resplendent tones with sundried melancholy and bleached atmospheres."

Grayson Currin - Independent Weekly

“Even at its murkiest, most suffocating density, Viracochas is entirely pleasant.The band envelops its listeners, lulling them into a trance and capturing their attention such that at the end of "Cielo," the album's final track, the abrupt silence is deafening."”

Daily Tarheel

“‘Viracochas’ continues to change, freely trans- forming and swirling rock genres en masse to create a persuasive and seductive trance-like state. fantastically alluring."”

Tasty

"*SONS plays that languid, ringing sort of pop I associate with New Zealand. Music that drives your mind to new and interesting spaces, even while it blisses out the pleasure centers."

Aiding and Abetting

“ "...reminiscent of some of the more peculiar acid- drenched pop bands from the 1990s. If you like your pop peppered with plenty of mental elements...you are likely to find a lot to love here."”

“The music gets right up into your frontal lobes, generating oddly visual impressions, and generally mucking up the boundaries between the senses. There's even a scientific term for this -- synesthesia -- in which people see sounds as colors, or "taste" certain shapes and forms.”

dyscern

“It's hard to deny killer guitar riffs like those heard on wall-of-sound rave-ups "Kill the Culprit" and "White Noise." That said, I left these six tracks thinking Brian Jonestown Massacre meets Pink Mountaintops, and how wise they were to keep it at only six songs. Rating: Yes”
