Ecuadorian-Swiss musical sensation Hermanos Gutiérrez is back in the spotlight with the thrilling announcement of their latest musical endeavor: a brand-new album titled “Sonido Cósmico” (Cosmic Sound). Following the success of their previous release, “The Good and the Bad,” this highly anticipated album marks a significant milestone in the duo’s artistic journey.
Produced under the skilled guidance of Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys, “Sonido Cósmico” represents a departure from the earthly themes explored in their previous work. As Estevan Gutiérrez, the elder sibling of the duo, enigmatically puts it, “It doesn’t happen on Earth. We have started to fly.” This cryptic statement hints at a cosmic exploration that promises to transcend the ordinary and transport listeners to celestial realms.
Accompanying the album announcement is the unveiling of its lead single, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the sonic universe that Hermanos Gutiérrez have meticulously crafted. Drawing inspiration from the mesmerizing psychedelia of artists like Khruangbin, the track invites listeners on an immersive auditory journey filled with ethereal melodies and transcendent rhythms.
Adding to the excitement is the release of a visually stunning music video for “Sonido Cósmico,” directed by the acclaimed Robert “Roboshobo” Schober, known for his visionary work with renowned acts such as Metallica and The Killers. With its captivating visuals and imaginative storytelling, the video serves as a fitting introduction to the cosmic world that awaits within the album.
Scheduled for release on June 14 under the esteemed Easy Eye label, “Sonido Cósmico” has already sparked widespread anticipation among fans and industry insiders alike. In anticipation of the album’s debut, Hermanos Gutiérrez will embark on a European tour, with a highly anticipated performance in Barcelona on April 2 at Paral.lel 62. Notably, tickets for this live showcase sold out in record time, underscoring the duo’s growing popularity and the eager anticipation surrounding their latest musical offering.
With “Sonido Cósmico,” Hermanos Gutiérrez invite listeners to join them on an extraordinary journey through the cosmos, where the boundaries of reality blur and the infinite possibilities of the universe come to life through sound. As they continue to push the boundaries of their creativity and explore new sonic horizons, one thing is certain: the release of their new album heralds an exciting chapter in the musical evolution of Hermanos Gutiérrez.
