VIAROSA
where the killers run

Release Date: 15/08/2005

viarosa are based around the nucleus of former brit-popper richard neuberg, fellow songwriter emma seal and willard grant conspiracy member josh hillman. many of the songs are crafted as if they belonged to some distant mediaeval past. richard neubergs songs tell of canons calling, of poor men praying, of kings and princes hanging out the dead. they are mythic ballads - stories of sin and salvation, of persecution and redemption into which richard manages to weave his own difficult life stories. imagine, the bastard offspring of nick cave and leonard cohen who had been taught to play by johnny cash and had spent his summer afternoons receiving singing lessons from jim morrison. it makes for a perfect atmospheric accompaniment to a late night bottle of whiskey.
