This Heart Electric

One of the best shows I have ever played. Thanks to Patti and Domingo of the end / SPRING BREAK (end-springbreak.com) for organizing the event, Misael Soto (@misaelsoto) for the giant beach towel art installation, 90s Teen (90steen.bandcamp.com) for playing, and all attendees. Thank you artisabout.com (@artisabout_) for this picture! What an incredibly fun day!

Thank you Nightdrive Miami for this wonderful write up!

“Always a sucker for that gritty psych sound, Guerrero has fashioned what he calls “broken pop” that, despite the intentional low production quality (recorded on cassette 8-track), will have you whistling to yourself for the foreseeable future.” -Patrick Walsh

Beached Miami Top 50 South Florida Songs of 2011

34. “Sunrise Blvd.” by This Heart Electric

Ricardo Guerrero — a.k.a. This Heart Electric — is one of Miami’s most industrious musicians, and his penchant for writing strong bedroom pop places him among the city’s most treasured songwriters. Layered with a perfect sheen of home-recorded hiss, “Sunrise Blvd.” is a surf-inflected, blinds-closed-on-a-gorgeous-day kind of track.
