My new album 'Pillars' is out now! I can't wait for you to hear it. 

Multi-award winner Jack Garratt makes his very welcomed return with the announcement of third album ‘Pillars’. Marking his first full-length project in five years, ‘Pillars’ is vibrant, emotionally-charged and a celebration of love, community, and self-discovery.

The album’s journey begins with explosive first single ‘Catherine Wheel’. More than just a comeback single - the track is a statement of intent for Pillars and emerged from a period of self-doubt and creative rebirth. “I was fully ready to quit music,” Garratt admits. “But Catherine Wheel became my true north - it reignited my love for creating and set the tone for the entire album.”
