    Garwood sounds like he's found whatever he's been blindly searching for. [Apr 2015, p.99]

    This music has an antique heart and, instead of having lots of modern crap plastered on top of it, it has been lovingly restored.

    In 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.

    With 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).

    Heavy Love is a supremely self-confident record. [Mar 2015, p.85]

    The 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.

    There is a new and penetrating heat haze to these reverberating songs.
