John Bohlinger and the PG video crew head west to explore the two brands that helped spark hot-rodding instruments and tricking out "super strat" shredsters. Talented master builders Pasquale “Pat” Campolattano, "Metal" Joe Williams, and Dave Nichols (aka “Red Dave”) unlock the door to their twisted sanctuary and let the sawdust fly showing us their hands-on approach to building drag-racing guitars.
Hermanos Gutiérrez release "Until We Meet Again," the latest preview of their forthcoming record Sonido Cósmico, produced by Dan Auerbach and out June 14 via Easy Eye Sound.
This month, Hermanos Gutiérrez will also make their Coachella debut and embark on a run of dates with Khruangbin before they head out on a tour of their biggest venues to date — including Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and two nights at NYC’s Brooklyn Steel in May (one just added, one sold out). Along with today's new song they've shared an additional 13 tour dates, with shows newly added across the Southwestern U.S., West Coast, and Europe. Full dates below.
Just as the title suggests, “Until We Meet Again” is an ode to the lighter moments of long distance: the bittersweet melodies of two guitars chasing each other until they finally intertwine. Hopeful, soft, and full of emotion, the track is a warm moment of connection on an otherwise otherworldly record. Directed by frequent collaborator, Robert “Roboshobo” Schober (Metallica, The Killers, The Arcs), the video for “Until We Meet Again” relishes in the supernatural.
Hermanos Gutiérrez - "Until We Meet Again" [Official Music Video]
Says Hermanos Gutiérrez on writing “Until We Meet Again”: “It was during soundcheck in San Antonio, TX where we accidentally discovered the idea for this song. It stayed present for months and always reminded us of one of our favorite movies, Paris, Texas directed by Wim Wenders. The pace and the warmth of the song are inspired by the scenery and aesthetics of the movie, following the narrative of father-son relationship and their way of reconnecting while being on the road together through the landscapes of the American Southwest. The song somehow reflects our relationship as brothers of finding ourselves together again while being on the road and sharing our music with so many beautiful people.”
Elsewhere on Sonido Cósmico, the brothers turn to more extraterrestrial inspirations: broadening their rhythmic palette with strokes of cumbia and salsa on the moonlit “Cumbia Lunar,” exploring the eerier sides of outer space on the haunting “Low Sun”, and adding subtle touches of strings to the more Dune-inspired title track, “Sonido Cósmico”.
Produced by their third brother, Dan Auerbach — GRAMMY®-winning producer and lead singer of The Black Keys — Sonido Cosmico is meant to lift the listener away from the desert landscapes of 2022’s breakout El Bueno Y El Malo, which Rolling Stone said “shimmers with hallucinogenic energy” and NPR celebrated with a Tiny Desk performance and by naming the LP one of the Top Latin Albums of that year. Finding solace in the stars and the unknowable expansiveness of our limitless world, Sonido Cósmico is a minimalist, mystical listening experience thatis the perfect capture of the brothers’ otherworldly bond with each other and their music.
