As of today, the album is available for pre-order from all participating digital retailers. Pre-order Phase HERE. Those who pre-order will receive an instant download of the album track “Breathe Life.” Phase will be available as a 12-track standard album as well as a 19-song deluxe package.
The official video for “Breathe Life” is available on Vevo today. The eye-catching clip, directed by Andrew Donoho (who also directed the clip for Garratt’s track “Weathered,” as well as videos for The Gaslight Anthem and Meg Myers) features Garratt floating in the blue water of Los Angeles’ Castaic Lake surrounded by synchronized swimmers. The mesmerizing cinematic effect is akin to a surreal scene from an indie movie. Watch the embedded video below.
“Breathe Life” premiered on BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac’s “Hottest Record” program yesterday in the UK. Download “Breathe Life” HERE and stream HERE.
Phase follows the release of Garratt’s acclaimed EPs Remnants, which racked up over a million plays and led to several sold-out shows in London, andSynesthesiac. Both EPs, out on Interscope Records, are available for digital download and streaming via participating subscription services. Garratt has received a host of critical acclaim for his previous output, including “Weathered.” Complex wrote that the singer “is about to explode in a big, chart-topping, unable to miss kind of way,” while London’s Evening Standard called Garratt “one of our most inventive new stars.” The Sunday Times’ Culture section noted that “[Jack’s] songs thrum with the dynamics and textures of after-hours electro-blues, dubstep and alt-R&B,” while Entertainment Weeklysaid Garratt “sprinkles dance-floor glitter over crooning analog soul” on “Weathered.”
Garratt is currently on tour in the U.S. supporting MS MR. He is confirmed to perform his new U.S. single “Worry” on TBS’s Conan on October 27th. Garratt will then head back to the UK for a headlining tour that kicks off on October 31st, followed by a series of headlining club shows in Europe, followed by a stint supporting Mumford & Sons on their upcoming arena tour.
