After a triumphant return with 'Pillars' — The Sun (4★), Classic Pop (4★), and Rolling Stone UK “Album of the Week” — Jack Garratt presents The Tension Between: a brand new collection of songs written and recorded in the months following 'Pillars', and released for the first time exclusively on vinyl and CD for Record Store Day.
Across 9 brand new tracks, this release captures Garratt at his most fluid and instinctive. The result feels like the bridge between past and future, and a deeper insight into the recording sessions that brought him back after nearly quitting.
This release celebrates Jack’s creative resurgence.
For collectors, this represents a never-before-heard chapter from one of the UK’s most innovative writer-producers — a limited release that won’t be available digitally until later in 2026.
