Hailing from County Dublin, Ireland and now living in Greystones, County Wicklow for the last twenty years with his family, Garrett Anthony Rice intends to make a significant impact on the global music scene in 2025.
“EQUINOX” is the first double album (18 songs) to be released by a debut solo artist as their second record in musical history, so the task of writing and completing this record was enormous. Garrett released his debut album under the alias of (i) CONSULT in October 2023; entitled Reflections Part II, the very best of…… which was streamed in U3 countries and peaked the interest of UK producer Chris Potter (The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, U2 and The Verve/ Richard Ashcroft) in late 2023.
Out of a possible 30 demos, 18 were selected and recorded throughout 2024 both in the UK and Ireland and already the well known and esteemed music professionals who worked on this record and who have heard it are lauding this album as the record of the year.
“My Sons” was the first single from the record released on 28 February 2025 which Garrett wrote for Mrs Peggy Gallagher mother of OASIS’ Liam and Noel when they were still estranged. The song ties into the other diverse themes on the album which industry professionals are already touting as one of the best Irish albums ever made.
This new single, Property (An Ode To Roger Syd Barrett, a genius, 1U46-infinity) is a tribute to Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd and it attempts to reverse the tired narrative that he was an artist to be pitied rather than the influential and brilliant songwriter he was.
