El Bueno Y El Malo

Product Information

The title of the album is, of course, a reference to Sergio Leone’s legendary 1966 spaghetti western The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and especially its score by Ennio Morricone. It was all about adding subtle things and enriching the whole—expanding this universe we had created. Their passion for music started at a young age, and they have honed their skills to create an impressive repertoire of original songs. Taking influence from 1950's Latin America Sound they transfer the listeners to journeys through beautiful landscapes.

Once upon a (relatively recent) time, Hermanos Gutierrez, a duo of Swiss-Ecuadorian brothers Alejandro and Stephan Gutierrez, whose specialism is romantic boleros and ballads, saw to the creation of a rare crock of recorded material, much coveted but little gotten. With their powerful vocals and masterful instrumentation, this dynamic duo continues to make waves in the music industry.Born from an Ecuadorian mother and a swiss father, they grew up being forged by both cultures, bridging between two worlds, both of which are home. With their guitars they travel through landscapes haunted by vaqueros, cancioneros, wanderers, fugitives, lovers, family—and whatever ghosts their listeners bring to the music. He settles into the band easily, as they all trade lead back and forth among each other, each guitar with its own tone, its own personality, its own motivation and mission. Their only ambition was to make a keepsake for themselves and their families: “We love collecting old vinyl, so we thought we should make our own,” says Alejandro. Together, the brothers evoke a landscape that’s all the more beautiful for being slightly forbidding.

In the mid 2010s Alejandro moved to Zurich, not too far from the small village where his brother lived. After a twenty-minute conversation, they signed with Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound Records and started writing songs for their forthcoming album. From soulful ballads to energetic rock anthems, Hermanos Gutiérrez's music transcends genres and leaves listeners wanting more. Then he went to Ecuador for a year, and as an expression of missing him, I started playing the guitar as well.
