Hermanos Gutierrez

When some people travel, they take photos on their phone to remember the trip. Old-soul voyagers will recount their adventures with pen and paper. But for Alejandro and Estevan Guti\\xe9rrez, who together make the globetrotting Ecuadorian-Swiss duo Hermanos Guti\\xe9rrez, their experiences conjure soundtracks, and a visit years ago to the American Southwest changed their sound forever.
A couple years after forming their duo, the brothers took a trip through Death Valley and the Mojave Desert. \\u201cIt just blew our minds,\\u201d Estevan told PG. The desert, he says, \\u201cis where our music was born.\\u201d
\\u201cPart of what we\\u2019re doing is traveling together as brothers,\\u201d Alejandro told PG in 2022. \\u201cWe go to places, we come back and we\\u2019re feeling inspired, and we feel like we\\u2019ve gotta write something about this place.\\u201d
After finding bountiful inspiration in the West, the duo began turning out mystical compositions, like sonic souvenirs and passport stamps on their consciousness. \\u201cIt\\u2019s just beautiful where we can go with this music,\\u201d Alejandro said last year. \\u201cIt\\u2019s just my brother and I together, and we\\u2019re so happy to have this.\\u201d
The sold-out Hermanos Guti\\xe9rrez concert at Nashville\\u2019s Basement East on June 20th marked their first time performing in Music City since recording El Bueno Y El Malowith Dan Auerbach at Easy Eye Sound in 2022. The pair invited PG\\u2019s Chris Kies onstage to decode their spellbinding cinematic sounds. The conversation touched on their symbiotic alchemy, enchanting hollowbodies, and how a single Strymon reset their slow-burn backdrop.
