Built on Guerrero’s unmistakable guitar touch, the record favours space, restraint and feel over excess. Basslines lope rather than push, drums sit back in the pocket, and melodies drift in and out like half-remembered thoughts. There’s a strong sense of groove throughout, but it’s always understated — music that breathes, sways and settles rather than demands attention.

Drawing from instrumental hip-hop, downtempo soul and classic blues phrasing, the album feels intimate and unforced, as if recorded in a single flow of late-night inspiration. Each track functions like a short vignette, hinting at moods and places without ever spelling them out, leaving room for the listener to fill in the gaps.

“Loose Grooves & Bastard Blues” stands as one of Guerrero’s most distilled statements: warm, patient and quietly expressive. It’s music for cruising, thinking, and switching off the noise — a timeless reminder that groove doesn’t need to shout to leave a lasting mark.
