Jack Garratt - Pillars: The Tension Between RSD 2026

Pressed on heavyweight vinyl and released via Cooking Vinyl, this special edition presents a brand-new 9-track collection recorded in the same fertile period as Pillars. It offers a deeper, more instinctive companion piece—less polished, more immediate, and shaped by the momentum of an artist rediscovering his voice after a period of creative uncertainty.

Across its runtime, The Tension Between moves through Garratt’s signature blend of electronic texture, soulful vocal layering, and emotionally charged songwriting. The record feels like a bridge between eras: reflective of where he’s been, but pushing forward into a more fluid, experimental space. It’s intimate, dynamic, and designed for vinyl listeners who want to experience the raw edges and depth of his production.

As a Record Store Day exclusive, availability is intentionally limited, making this release especially desirable for collectors. It won’t see broad digital availability at launch, reinforcing its status as a physical-first artefact of Garratt’s post-Pillars era.
