Hermanos Gutiérrez - Hijos Del Sol (2020)



I can’t remember if I have posted this before,so apologies if I have, but love this album so much that I haven’t yet graduated to listen to their other ones! Another gem found via Radio Paradise.

“Brothers Alejandro and Estevan Gutiérrez comprise instrumental duo Hermanos Gutiérrez. Using traditional guitars, lap steel, and organic percussion, their music evokes the feel of remote spaces and untamed places, from Ecuadorian beaches to the deserts of Mexico and the American Southwest. They draw primary inspiration from the western soundtracks of Ennio Morricone and Stelvio Cipriani, vintage psychedelia, and classic Latin and South American music from 1950 through the '70s.”

The description certainly sounds interesting / enticing.

Yesterday I spent over 10 hours driving and played several soundtrack albums including Kill Bill volumes 1 & 2 - Hermanos Gutierrez has a similar vibe (I felt) to the Ennio Morricone tracks on those (which the Tidal description also suggests). Going back to the beginning and playing their debut now from 2017 - 8 Anos

When you mentioned yesterday that other album of his, my first thought was Kill Bill! My second thought was where has my Kill Bill soundtrack gone, I'll go out to the car, it might be there.

I also looked around for that album (Hijos Del Sol), and it would seem to be available only digitally or on vinyl, at prices I'm not able to justify Where did you get yours from? It does sound like something I'd really like.

Hi Steve, I'm afraid I don't have a physical copy, i am just streaming it via Tidal (also on Spotify, not sure on others but I suspect it is). I do think you'd like it - to be fair, it's hard not to like, good playing, well recorded, and atmospheric. I guess only small criticism is that they are a bit "samey" (having played most of the albums today).

(I don't think you've succumbed to any streaming options, yet? You could easily get started with a Wiim Mini (about £90) and depending on amp/DAC options you have, an optical connection from that and controlled by a (very good) smartphone app...)
