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…

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.

German photographer and illustrator Martin Fengel did a video for Luke Abbott‘s remix of Esperanza‘s “Sirena” song. Taken from The Esperanza Sirena EP on Gomma, out now.

Esperanza is the new band on Gomma. But not what you might expect… The 3 guys from Italy have a very very own sound. It’s a lot about atmospheres, natural sounds, melancholy. The first EP “Sirena” (including remixes by Luke Abbott and Broke One) has just been released on Gomma — Album in winter.

Cat#: Gomma 159
Release: 8 July 2011

Esperanza is the new group on Gomma. Something that Gomma is very very proud of. Three guys from Italy that combine huge musical talent, an unimitable phantasy, knowledge of music history and technical skill to create a new language in music. All three guys play different instruments and have been playing and producing music for years.

Even though they are all between 24 and 29 years old. Carlo, also known as producer Cécile has already been releasing on Gomma and stirred quite a buzz in the UK for his remixes, as the one for Vampire Weekend that was defined by Erol Alkan on BBC as “this is how a remix has to sound today!”. As a bassplayer Matteo has been touring all over the place with a freak discoband called Disco Drive and opened for acts such as Liars, Klaxons, !!!, Foals etc.. and Sergio produces indie pop records in Italy and has been touring a lot with the band Hot Gossip.

On Esperanza they create this completely new sound that mixes influences from late San Francisco psychedelic vibes, Icelandic atmospheres, Tropical vibes, Duesseldorf electronics, mid 90’s Detroit techno and pure Anima Latina – the universe of Italian melodic and harmonics. Esperanza is in the air, but she’s already far from here. The EP features recording artist Banjo Or Freakout (Memphis Industries, Walls/Kompakt) on vocals and remixes by Luke Abbott and Broke One.

Already supported by James Holden, Laurent Garnier, Cosmo Vitelli, Luke Solomon, Tim Love Lee, Lovebirds, Prince Language…
