Austin-based psychedelic rock duo Gran Moreno step into the light with “Hikuri”, the first glimpse of their upcoming debut album El Sol. Premiered via Austin Town Hall, the track cements the band as one of the most striking new names in contemporary psych rock. With analog warmth, expansive soundscapes, and emotional depth, Gran Moreno’s music moves between groove, distortion, and introspection—equally raw, intricate, and haunting.
“Hikuri” isn’t just meant to be heard; it’s meant to be felt. In Gran Moreno’s sonic universe, distortion and inner journey coexist. Hypnotic riffs, heavy rhythms, and emotive melodies draw the listener inward and beyond, tracing the line between chaos and clarity.
Their forthcoming album El Sol unfolds in two conceptual sides:
- Side A: “El Sol” — urgency, energy, and clarity.
- Side B: “La Luna” — shadow, mystery, and reflection.
The first release, “El Sol”, captures Gran Moreno’s unfiltered essence—an initiation, a radiant beginning.
On stage, the duo transform their sound into a visceral, embodied experience. With powerful sonics and striking visuals, their performances invite audiences into a state of shared trance. Gran Moreno aren’t merely making music; they’re constructing their own cosmos—and inviting us to step inside. ✪
