"Showalter draws from the same pool of familiar sounds as fellow neo-classic rock/overshare pop artists like The War on Drugs, Phosphorescent, The Low Anthem, and My Morning Jacket -- J. Mascis sits in on lead guitar on the blistering, appropriately titled opener "Goshen 97" -- but he's got a flair for electro-pop as well, even if songs like "Same Emotions" and the propulsive title cut sound like they should be followed up by a quick Casey Kasem recap. Okkervil River's Will Sheff mined a similar vein of nostalgia on 2013's The Silver Gymnasium, pairing high school memories with richly detailed retro-pop, but Showalter's take on the past is a bit more raw and unhinged".

"Vurdering: A-" - "2014 has already seen more or less spectacular albums like Sun Kil Moon's Benji and Sharon Van Etten's Are We There, both made by artists unrestrained from completely pouring out themselves. Where the freewheeling Benji painted lyrical autobiographies in painstaking detail and Are We There dove headfirst into dark and sometimes overpowering emotions about toxic relationships, HEAL is a mixture of the two, a cleansing document that's ultimately more hopeful. Maybe HEAL is such an enthralling listen because it actually isn't for us. It's for Showalter".
