FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 12, 2025

Garrett Anthony Rice’s new single, “PROPERTY (An Ode To Roger Syd Barrett, a genius, 1946–infinity),” is out now, offering a bold, clear-eyed homage to one of rock’s most mythologized figures. Rather than framing Barrett as a tragic footnote, Rice casts him as the creative force he truly was, uncompromising, electric, and unforgettable.



The track charges forward with boldness and precision, beginning with a sharp, energetic pulse before effortlessly transitioning into a more introspective groove. "PROPERTY" strikes a balance between high-octane rock and quiet contemplation, creating a soundscape that’s both invigorating and reflective. It’s the kind of anthem for those who crave authenticity and substance, delivering an unwavering message amidst the noise.

This is the second glimpse into Rice’s upcoming double album EQUINOX, a body of work already being quietly called one of the strongest Irish releases in recent memory. Following February’s single “My Sons,” written for Peggy Gallagher during a time of estrangement between her sons Liam and Noel, (of Oasis) “PROPERTY” widens the frame. It looks backward without getting stuck there. It doesn’t flinch.

Rice, who debuted in 2023 under the name (i) CONSULT, has since stepped into his own name with ambition and clarity. EQUINOX spans 18 tracks and was shaped across Ireland and the UK throughout 2024. The record will arrive later this year on vinyl and streaming platforms, with pre-save details to come.

About Garrett Anthony Rice

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 pretty daunting and 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 93 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 recorded 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 this 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, 1946-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 and avoided rather than the influential and brilliant songwriter he was.

“EQUINOX” will be available to pre save closer to the time of release on vinyl

and all platforms.
