YO! So, Shaun Hencher of Lovvers (and more importantly The Murder Of Rosa Luxemburg) fame licks his wounds and returns to the old recording biz under a solo guise - Virals. From the opening chords of 'Magic Happens' it becomes apparent that Virals is poppier than previous outings as Hencher singing (audibly) over a doo-wop pop number - albeit performed with a little more gusto than the Captured Tracks crowd. He still knows his way around a catchy melody and plays all the instruments here (bar the drums) so props to that shit. Flip it and 'Comes The Night' sounds like a breezy American indie pop number in the vein of early Lemonheads with a little of the quirk of Blur thrown in for good measure. Both tracks are mad decent and prove there's tons of mileage left in the boy. Could be the start of summat real magikali.
On Monday 30th January SEXBEAT will release ‘Magic Happens’ and 'Comes The
Night', the debut double A-side 7” from VIRALS. This is the newest project from
Shaun Hencher who may well have appeared in your life before with Lovvers or a
plethora of influential bands prior to that. However, VIRALS is a new beginning and
we are very happy to be a part of this…
Both ‘Magic Happens’ and ‘Comes The Night’ brim with a sense of effortless melody
that kinda reminds us of The Nerves or something, brash, infectious, FUN… all the
everything that a fine pop song should be. These songs will lodge themselves into
your brain… in the best possible way.
‘Magic Happens’ and ‘Come The Night’ were written and recorded throughout the
Summer 2011 in his hometown of Worcester with Shaun performing everything on
there (except drums).
