STREAM THE ALBUM: ..
"Heartbeater’s brand-new debut full-length, Slow Waves, is just the sort of release we Nashville-dwelling rock ’n’ roll fans want to hear. It’s hearteningly fresh and earnest, but saturated in all the right record-store-clerk-approved rock influences: washy but smart surf-rock noodling (“Dark Horse Rising”), grungy, riff-savvy college rock (“Blackout”), blistering, punk-tinged hard rock (“Heartbeater”), Southern grit (“M.I.A”) and dreamy, far-out psychedelia (“Vaporizer”). Dynamically, it doesn’t have a whole lot of dimensions — it’s really just booming low-end, two handy-with-a-lick indie-rock guitarists, a drummer who lays into the brass and lyrics about, you know, emotions. But next time one of those sequined-cowboy-hatted Okie tourists asks you that question we’ve all been sick of hearing for a couple decades now — you know the one, “You mean Nashville has music other than just country?” — feel free to tell them the following: “We have rock music. We have Heartbeater.”
— D. Patrick Rodgers for The Nashville Scene
"It's got a nice dark edge to it, the overall sound is huge and it's got an enjoyable driving energy to it." Rating: 4/5 — Silent Uproar
"Slow Waves is an album that combines garage-band-grunge with punk-apocalyptic-surf-rock. Heartbeater has created a cohesive piece of work that flows nicely from the intro to the final track."
— Allison Thomas for The Nashville Wire

"The four tracks on Heartbeater’s eponymous debut are a gritty style of pensive rock ’n’ roll that meshes the stout rhythmic backbone of Pixies and other gnarly early grunge and college-rock acts with a wet, Southern-tinged wall of surfy guitars. It’s unique, and it’s ballsy as all get-out." —The Nashville Scene

"You know what The Spin enjoys? Heartbeater. They seem to be popping up all over the place this summer, and every performance has been good. In the parlance of music journalists, standout songs are definitely the almost-but-not-quite surf rock "She's a Pistol," and the insanely catchy "Dark Horse Rising." We can't actually recall the last time we were so excited about something new (to us), but it was probably somewhere around 1982."
— The Nashville Scene - July 2010
"Listening to them play makes you feel like you are a modern day James Dean, and their music is your soundtrack. Heartbeater makes music that pays no attention to genre or music scene politics, and only concerns itself with music that they like, and it shows." — Meltface Music Faction
