A #1 Most Added hit at Non-Com Radio outlets nationwide, “Descending To Nowhere” had its world premiere with an in-depth and illuminating “Origins” feature via Consequence and was quickly named by Paste as one of “The 10 Best Songs of February 2023,” hailing it as “an irresistible groove that builds and ebbs as it showcases delicious electric licks and the promised orchestral swells.” An official music video, directed by acclaimed Mexican filmmaker/broadcaster Olallo Rubio, is streaming now on YouTube.

PRAISE FOR RODRIGO Y GABRIELA + IN BETWEEN THOUGHTS…A NEW WORLD
“Rodrigo y Gabriela have added new flourishes with every album…They’re both incredibly deft players, executing taut riffs with charisma…Their songs are filled with unexpected twists and detours, like the disco-flamenco rhythms on ‘The Eye That Catches The Dream’ and the grandiose orchestrations of ‘Descending To Nowhere.’”
– UNCUT (8/10)
“Rodrigo y Gabriela are boldly taking metal and rock to where no one has successfully taken it before.”
– CLASSIC ROCK
“Quintero’s propulsive rhythms power the music along, with the nimble-fingered Sanchez opting for electric guitar this time. ‘Broken Rage’ is their most raucous tune to date and others are peppered with funk and spaghetti western tones, while the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra bring concert hall
heft to this unique pair’s winning fusion style.”
– PROG
“This Mexican duo are virtuosic players… The playing is off the scale.”
– THE TIMES
“One doesn’t need to follow Rodrigo y Gabriela’s spiritual enlightenment to enjoy and embrace the music. However, that journey affected the duo from a musical standpoint, which finds them expanding their sound beyond their traditional “two acoustic guitars” setup. For most of this record, Rodrigo straps on an electric guitar, making for a marked change in tone. For her part, Gabriela continues to strum and pound away acoustically, anchoring the album in the classic Rodrigo y Gabriela sound.”
– POPMATTERS
“The perfect demonstration of their abilities…Rodrigo y Gabriela create a surging sonic display of cinematic goodness, using their guitars to represent rising and falling action. Each song feels like a mini-movie, containing stirring riffs, mesmeric backing strumming, and glorious, soaring strings that add extra tension to every piece…The duo harness the impressive ability to tell intricate stories without saying a word, and these songs are sure to conjure up rich images in listeners’ minds.”
– FAR OUT (4/5)
“Rodrigo y Gabriela like you’ve never heard them before… a thrilling mix
of spiraling guitars, strings, and percussive rhythms.”
– HOT PRESS (8/10)
“Joyous, thrilling, infectious…In Between Thoughts… A New World is by turns catchy, meditative, and energetic, multifarious influences (Hendrix and Santana among them) synthesized and blended by two masterful guitarists who show us just how much can be achieved on two cutaway acoustics, effects pedals close by.”
– THE ARTS DESK
“Rodrigo y Gabriela not only imagine a new world, they create a cinematic universe…A heady kaleidoscope of styles, with ethereal synths, distortion and breaking glass set against the perpetual engine of guitars takes you on a journey through an expansive dreamscape, by turns frantic, dark and lyrical.”
– NARC (4.5/5)
