STORY

SINGER, SONGWRITER, AND PLATINUM-AWARD WINNING PRODUCER GARRETT KATO DELIVERS HIS MOST SONICALLY STRIKING STYLE OF INDIE-FOLK YET ON NEW ALBUM SMALL TOWN RITUALS.

 

SINCE THE RELEASE OF “TAKE IT SLOWLY,” SOPHOMORE ALBUM HEMISPHERES, AND 2021 EP KUMAMOTO, THE CANADA-BORN, AUSTRALIA-BASED ARTIST HAS AMASSED OVER 130 MILLION WORLDWIDE STREAMS AND PERFORMED SOLD-OUT SHOWS ALONGSIDE DAMIEN RICE AND ZIGGY ALBERTS. AUSTRALIAN TASTEMAKER TRIPLE J DUBBED HIM AS THE “PRODUCER AND MUSICIAN BEHIND SOME OF THE MOST PROMINENT SOUNDS COMING OUT OF BYRON BAY'S BOOMING BUSKERS SCENE,” AND RIGHTLY SO. GARRETT HAS WORKED WITH A STRING OF ICONIC AUSSIE ARTISTS INCLUDING JULIA STONE, ZIGGY ALBERTS, TONES AND I, RILEY PEARCE AND MORE.

 

SMALL TOWN RITUALS SEES GARRETT HARNESSING AN ORGANIC APPROACH TO THE WRITING PROCESS, ALLOWING HIS EMOTIONS TO COME TO THE FOREFRONT TO DELIVER HIS MOST VULNERABLE PIECE OF WORK TO DATE. THE 9 TRACKS EXPLORE VARIOUS SUBCONSCIOUS NARRATIVES THAT PROVIDED GARRETT “A CHANCE TO LOOK FORWARD AND BACK UPON MY LIFE AND GAIN NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THINGS.” THERE’S AN OVERARCHING THEME “OVERCOMING” THROUGHOUT, INSPIRED BY THE UNCERTAINTY SURROUNDING GARRETT’S LIFE AT THE TIME IT WAS RECORDED.

 

WRITTEN AND SELF-PRODUCED AT HIS HOME STUDIO, MOST OF THE ALBUM WAS MIXED ON HARDWARE, GIVING THE SONGS A MORE IMMEDIATE AND INTIMATE FEEL. “THE DISTINCT TONE OF A VINTAGE LA2A COMPRESSOR IS LITTERED THROUGHOUT THE RECORD, GIVING IT A REAL WARMTH AND DETAIL THAT I PREVIOUSLY DREAMED ABOUT.”
