Classic Rock MagazineFeb 26, 2015Garwood sounds like he's found whatever he's been blindly searching for. [Apr 2015, p.99]
-
Feb 18, 2015This music has an antique heart and, instead of having lots of modern crap plastered on top of it, it has been lovingly restored.
-
MojoFeb 13, 2015It's a journey worth taking with him. [Mar 2014, p.95]
-
Feb 10, 2015In sum, Heavy Love is all of a piece: slow, slippery, jungly. It is easily the most confident, fully realized album in his catalog to date, and his most poetic to boot.
-
Feb 10, 2015With Heavy Love Garwood has created not so much an album as a sonic dream. While you're in it, it's visceral and poignant, but once you're awake it's hard to recall the details, the lyrics, or one song from another (except perhaps the title track).

UncutFeb 9, 2015Heavy Love is a supremely self-confident record. [Mar 2015, p.85]
-
Feb 9, 2015The second half of the record (this is Garwood’s fifth solo album) sees him abandon the more accessible melodies for a sprawling, stripped-back sound that can be just as foreboding as track titles such as Hawaiian Death Song suggest.
-
Feb 9, 2015There is a new and penetrating heat haze to these reverberating songs.
-
Feb 24, 2015Heavy Love is a fine, if ultimately inessential, summation of what Garwood does best.
-
Feb 12, 2015Clearly, Heavy Love isn’t the emotional grab bag that the title suggests, but regardless, it’s an affecting effort that leaves a lingering impression.
-
Q MagazineFeb 9, 2015Garwood's gruff whisper can't touch Lanegan's death rattle, but it lets him slip in the odd love song without sounding like he's sketching a suicide pact. [Mar 2015, p.106]
