LISTEN: HERMANOS GUTIERREZ expand on El Bueno Y El Malo with new unreleased song “Blood Milk Moon” available now via Easy Eye Sound

Hermanos Gutiérrez — the Zurich-based duo of brothers Estevan and Alejandro Gutiérrez — return with the unreleased track, “Blood Milk Moon.” The song represents the group’s first new music since 2022’s El Bueno Y El Malo, their acclaimed and mythic debut for Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound, hailed by the likes of Rolling Stone, Variety, Consequence, Guitar World and NPR Music who named it one of the Top Latin Albums of the Year.

Spacious and spectral, “Blood Milk Moon” highlights the Swiss-Ecuadorian duo’s intricate musical world-building, their guitars creating landscapes haunted by vaqueros and fugitives, lovers and otherworldly figures — all bound by Auerbach’s clean, unadorned production.

Written several months after the recording of El Bueno Y El Malo, “Blood Milk Moon” was recorded in Mexico City when the brothers reunited with Auerbach for a celebratory studio session. “We remember having dinner all together on a rooftop in Mexico City, and we were lucky enough to witness a red Blood Moon in the sky that night; it appeared so wholesome and clear,” says Alejandro Gutiérrez. 

“Before we went on that trip my brother, Estevan, had a new song idea he was working on, and we all thought about trying to record it in Mexico City. We went into a studio in Condesa, and everybody was feeling the inspiration of that night. Romantic and mystical at the same time, we are honoring the moment of the Moon’s appearance in Mexico City’s night sky." 

Since releasing El Bueno Y El Malo, Hermanos Gutiérrez has captured the imagination of critics, fans, and fellow artists. They’ve visited NPR’s Tiny Desk; shared stages with Jason Isbell, Nathaniel Rateliff and others; played Newport Folk, Bonnaroo and Primavera; and ear.
