Brothers Alejandro and Stephan Gutiérrez are Hermanos Gutiérrez, an instrumental duo. Using traditional guitar, 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 the 1950s to the '70s. 8 Años, their debut album, appeared in 2017, evoking symbolic soundscapes haunted by the ghosts of outlaws, vaqueros, pilgrims, rootless wanderers, and devastated lovers. 2018's El Camino de mi Alma added an electrified flamenco tinge appended by reverb. 2019's Hoy Como Ayer blended boleros and cumbia with psychedelia. 2021's Hijos del Sol was brighter and more uptempo and physical. 2022's El Bueno y el Malo was recorded in Nashville with producer Dan Auerbach.
