The Electric Heaters

Boston's Premiere
Instrumental Surf-Noir Combo

Matt Heaton & the Electric Heaters

New Album Available Now!

July 23 - Midsummer Reverb at the Burren 

The Electric Heaters are a Boston-based instrumental trio that serve up a cinematic blend of "Retro‑sonic Surf Noir"—imagine reverb‑soaked guitar twang meeting spy, soul, spaghetti‑western, and surf vibes. Led by guitarist Matt Heaton, their music evokes moody, groove‑laden soundtracks for imaginary films, with nods to Morricone, Booker T., Link Wray and The Raybeats. Their debut studio album, From the Film of the Same Name, released in 2022, reimagines forgotten ‘60s–‘80s B‑movie themes with a modern twist. The Electric Heaters bring a chilly North Atlantic surf flair that’s dark, dreamy, and undeniably cinematic—all without uttering a word.

“Dark and moody stuff without being overly heavy; toe-tapplingly atmospheric in fact.”

Pipeline Magazine

 

“They deliver atmospheric surf tunes with lots of great melodies-the kind of melodies that would create a mood or for a film soundtrack”

Continental Magazine

 

“The album is a relentlessly fun, fast-paced affair that shows the Electric Heaters to be another of the excellent surf bands that have come out of Boston in the past 20 years”.

Noah Schaffer, WBUR
