More about Jack Garratt
“I wrote this album as someone - and for anyone - who likes dancing but
doesn’t necessarily want to go out on a Saturday. It’s dance music for peoplewho don’t want to go out! And that’s the music that I love: music that doesn’tcare if you’re standing up or sitting down. It’s going to give it to you eitherway.” – Jack Garratt
If Jack Garratt wasn’t a musician, he’d make a mean critic - mean as in take-no-prisoners blunt and brutal. A detractor of his music could throw a brickbat at him butJack will always have got there first. Ask him now about his 2016 debut album
‘Phase’ and the 28-year-old doesn’t pull his punches, describing it as “busy anderratic”, “clever bullshit … a record full of beautiful metaphor that doesn’t really sayanything. I was scared to actually say something real; I didn’t think people wanted tohear it. That’s why my production on that record is so busy, so saturated.” Yup, he’sdown on the production, too. “I didn’t think I was a good producer, so I did lots of
tricks to make people think: ‘He’s good.’ Same with the lyrics, with the melodies, allof it: it was just me on a face-value level effectively going: ‘This is good because it’simpressive, not because it’s actually good.’”
