“We never had the intention to perform or be a band in the beginning. It was purely about connecting with each other,” Alejandro Gutiérrez says of the period in 2015 when he and his older brother—fellow guitarist Estevan—began creating original music together, which led them to forge an official tandem as Hermanos Gutiérrez. “I moved to a different city, and we didn’t feel close, so we were hanging out and one thing that came from spending time together was playing music with each other. We had this song, our first track ever, ‘El Mar,’ and my roommate came into the room and was like, ‘Oh, wow, who’s that band?’ We said, ‘No, that’s us.’ We were not a band at that time, but we thought maybe we should record because we were huge fans of vinyl.”
