One of my favorite bands right now is Hermanos Gutierrez, an instrumental band from Zurich. They are two brothers of Ecuadorian/Swiss heritage.

Their sound is dark, slow, and somber. They craft beautiful rhythms with latin influence, but it’s not latin music. It’s quite unique.

I’m stoked for their new record, slated to be released in June.
