Hermanos Gutiérrez

Brothers Alejandro and Stephan Gutiérrez comprise instrumental duo Hermanos Gutiérrez. Using traditional guitars, lap steel, and organic percussion, their music evokes impressions of remote spaces and untamed wild places, from Ecuadorian beaches and coastlines to the deserts of Mexico and the American Southwest. They also draw primary inspiration from the spaghetti western soundtracks of Ennio Morricone and Stelvio Cipriani, vintage psychedelia, and classic Latin and South American music from 1950 through the '70s. 8 Años, their debut album, appeared in 2017, evoking symbolic soundscapes haunted by ghosts. 2018's El Camino de Mi Alma added an electrified flamenco tinge appended by surf reverb. 2019's Hoy Como Ayer blended boleros, cumbia, and psychedelia. 2021's Hijos del Sol was uptempo and very physical. 2022's El Bueno y el Malo was recorded in Nashville with producer Dan Auerbach. The producer also helmed the brothers' sessions on 2024's Barrio Hustle EP and their sixth album, Sonido Cosmico.
