ITALY PRESS:
Il Mucchio Selvaggio - Novembre 2005 ( rubrica Helter Skelter, disco del mese) Sestetto londinese guidato da Richard Neuberg con ex Willard Grant Conspiracy e Cornershop dentro, i Viarosa stilano ballad di spessore, catalogabili in quella densa lama dombra che da Johnny Cash porta a Nick Cave. Nuovi tradizionalisti. Senza speroni, ça va sans dire. Alessandro Bolli
Music Club - Novembre 2005 Where the Killers Run I due nuovi affari esteri dell ambasciata Foreign Affairs si chiamano 100 Bullets Back e Viarosa. [...] Coi Viarosa rimaniano sempre in Inghilterra (stavolta Londra) ma non potremmo essere musicalmente più lontani da quanto scritto sopra. Le tastiere anni 80, le drum machines, i suoni sintetici e danzerecci scompaiono per far posto a lap steel, mandolino, banjo, contrabbasso, violino e viola. Where The Killers Run vive di undici ballate dal retrogusto medievale, suonate per lo più su strumenti acustici o poveri nel senso buono del termine: quasi una rielaborazione personalissima e stupefacente del country-folk americano di Johnny Cash e Leonard Cohen, riletto in chiave noir (lombra longilinea ed elegante di Nick Cave si staglia sullo sfondo in più occasioni) e attraverso una sensibilità indie che fa venire in mente Tindersticks (per leleganza e la profondità delle composizioni) e Violent Femmes (per luso di strumenti acustici e artigianali). Brani come Soul Light, Blindfold e Wake sono quadri estatici di luce e grazia, dipinti in chiaroscuro con il tratto fermo e deciso della mano di Richard Neuberg, che dei Viarosa è cantante (e vi ricorderà Cohen così come Jim Morrison) nonché principale autore. A lui, in primo luogo, va ascritto il merito di averci regalato un disco fuori dal tempo e dagli stretti canoni del pop doggidì. Fateli vostri e non ve ne pentirete. Sontuosi. Daniele De Liberato
Blow Up - ..90 Novembre 2005 Where the Killers Run Quasi eretico nel deviare dalle ultime strafottenze fast di casa propria (UK), antistorico e moralista quando ripiega su cronache feudali da tabarin: Richard Neuberg trova posto sul crinale scuro e velvettiano delle fortune vocali di tanti predecessori, con membri di Willard Grant Conspiracy e Cornershop si dà alle corde pizzicate del banjo e del mandolino -la lotta di classe in Poor mans prayer- e qualche dispersione strascicata non evita unimpressione positiva. Là dove popolare significa ancora qualcosa di diverso da classifica e suoneria. (6/7) Enrico Veronese
HOLLAND REVIEWS:
Altcountry.nl Stel u eens voor dat Stuart Staples van de Tindersticks was geboren in de bergen van West-Virginia en dat hij, met een fascinatie voor jaren 80 wave, zich was gaan toeleggen op het vermengen van deze muziek met de rootsmuziek van zijn geboortegrond. Als u dat een interessante gedachte vindt moet u eens luisteren naar Where The Killers Run (Pronoia Rec.) van het Britse Viarosa. In de Engelse pers als omschreven als een gecountryficeerde Echo & the Bunnyman of als een kruising tussen Cash en Cave. De muziek van het sextet Viarosa wordt gedomineerd door de diepe stem van componist/gitarist Richard Neuberg, de viool van Josh Hillman (die ook deel uitmaakt van Willard Grant Conspiracy) en de banjo, mandoline en lap steel van Rob McHardy. De tweede stem is van Emma Seal. In het enige uptemponummer All This Worry (Will Soon Be Over) mag zij de lead vocals voor haar rekening nemen. De teksten van de 11 liedjes zijn nogal donker (had ik al gezegd dat het Country Noir is?) maar zulks doet niet af aan de conclusie dat hier sprake is van een klein meesterwerk. Where The Killers Run kent namelijk geen enkel zwak moment. De toekomst van Viarosa kan, als zij albums als deze blijft uitbrengen, niet anders dan rooskleurig zijn. Ondanks die wat sombere inslag van het stel. (Hugo Vogel)
FRANCE REVIEWS:
Tatapoum.net review "Where the killers run" possède une pochette qui semble usée par le temps et pourtant ce disque ne s'achète pas encore dans un magasin d'antiquité ou de souvenirs. Les illustrations et photos datant d'il y a environ 100 ans semblent être un artifice utilisé par Viarosa pour donner du relief à son album. En écoutant "Where the killers run", on appréhende mieux d'ailleurs l'importance de ce choix. La musique parait comme s'être dépouillée naturellement avec le poids des années (paradoxe pour un disque par ailleurs moderne et sorti l'an dernier) : on y parle de persécutions et chatiments semblant datés d'une autre époque. La voix profonde de Richard Neuberg sort de la nuit des temps et résonne tant l'accompagnement pourtant complexe est utilisée comme un faire valoir : la voix douce de Emma Seal (qui sort de l'ombre véritablement que dans le magnifique "Blood From A Stone" ou dans "All this Worry") en est la première illustration. Un violon à la Dirty Three , un banjo et une mandoline font de temps en temps leur apparition (la mandoline me rappelle un magnifique titre de Billy Bragg dans "Don't try this at home"). La guitare, la basse et la batterie sont toujours d'une discrétion exemplaire et pourtant que serait la musique de Viarosa sans tous ces instruments indispensables pour mettre en avant les textes du groupe (tel Sixteen Horsepower). Quel dommage que cet excellent album si simple et complexe à la fois soit quasiment introuvable dans l'Hexagone actuellement. (09/08/2006)
