Yeah! Finally out now: The debut album of ESPERANZA. Three kids from Italy making music that is out of any categories. ESPERANZA mix 90’s Detroit Techno with the universe of Italian melodies with a 70ies Psychedelic touch. Or as a German journalist described it: Brian Eno having a session with Carl Craig. Produced by Air and arranged by Morricone…

The album features recording artist Banjo Or Freakout (Walls/Kompakt) on vocals. Remixes by Luke Abbott (Border Community), Broke One and Walls (Kompakt). Check also the video for the new single Jaipur. Desert techno!

Cat#: Gomma 164
Release: 29 November 2011

With Kompakt artist Walls on board the second single of Esperanza already shows the direction of the new Italian trio on Gomma. The second single re-interprets the idea of the Gomma universe perfectly. It is Techno. But it is also dirty Surf Rock or transcendental body music.

Jaipur could be the soundtrack on a Tarantino movie as well as be played in the desert on a camelrace. (Watch the video!). The Esperanza kids had quite a buzz on their first single “Sirena” (feat.: Banjo Or Freakout ) with DJ’s like Gui Boratto, James Holden, Luke Abbott supporting them.

New Gomma short movie! New band! Genius music! Single (including Walls remix) and album out on Gomma this week.
