Released 4.10.07 - Scott Endres moves to Chapel Hill from Boston after the break up
of his shoegaze/drone band Suntan (Kimchee Records). Around the same time,
William Bratcher and his spazz rock band, A Problem of Alarming Dimensions, move
up to the same area from Arkansas. Mutual friends introduce the two and a musical
connection is made.
Recorded December 06 in their studio/practice space, Viracochas is a debut record for
fans of shoegaze, haphazard pscyhedelia, big guitars and psych pop. RIYL: Seam,
Swervedriver, the 13th Floor Elevators.

Reviews:
"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, The Independent
"...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." ~~ babysue
"*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 & Abetting
"Fuzzy guitar flights lead into an explosive rock jam that satisfyingly speaks of an
older, less tainted time of rock ‘n roll, triumphant and positive.
fantastically alluring." ~~ Tasty Fanzine
"Listening to Viracochas is akin to a lucid dream in which every melodic movement
in rock from glam to grunge gets synthesized into a compact 34-and a-half minutes.
Vocalist Scott Endres coos like Marc Bolan amid the spacey blend of psych and
shoegaze pedal pushing. 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." ~~ The Daily Tar Heel (Diversions)
