    Heartworms is a slow-burning grower that rewards repeat listens but requires some commitment to love. [No. 142, p.58]

    Overall Mercer’s songwriting creds are well in tact.

    Heartworms is an album of tinkering and pootling, the sound of a man reminiscing on life, referencing his favourite records--less rock star, more bloke living out his hobby from the comfort of a suburban garage.
