Jack Garratt – Love, Death & Dancing (2020) [FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

After four years, Jack Garratt returns with his difficult second album ,‘Love, Death & Dancing’, and an urge to rebuild a career left in tatters by crippling self-doubt following his underwhelming chart performance back in 2016.

Garratt was somewhat unfairly labelled as a flop after his heavily-promoted debut album ‘Phase’ only sold 60,000 copies upon release in February 2016 – only 60,000 – and he was seen by many to be the latest in a long line of music industry casualties. The album produced no hits, received fair-to-middling reviews and was all but forgotten by the next month.

See, he was massively unfortunate to have released his debut album in early 2016, especially seeing as the world was reckoning with new albums by The 1975, Coldplay and Adele, and recovering from the death of David Bowie. All that major label money amounted to a #3 position on the UK Albums Chart, and a swift disappearance from public view.

Now, with this second set, the shackles are seemingly off, and he’s been allowed to exercise some measure of creative control over the project, lest this be his second flop on the bounce. As it turns out, Garratt must be owed some measure of karmic justice because he gets lucky in a couple of ways. The first of his fortunate moves was to bring in super-producer Jacknife Lee, who, despite allowing the album to run hideously long, turns in a variety of canvases for Garratt to paint his voice across. The second of Garratt’s fortunate moves is to bring in a little variety to the songs this time out. The songs are a little more distinctive, and they’re crafted a little better.
