February 23, 2026 (Greystones, IE) // Garrett Anthony Rice’s latest single, “The Prisoner,” continues the sequence of releases in anticipation of his double album Equinox. The release continues the sequence of singles leading into Equinox and stands on its own as the latest unfurling of the project.

The song seems to give a subtly musical nod to The Rolling Stones’Gimme Shelter” while the verses in ‘The Prisoner’ have an almost monochrome-tight feel to them, they convey the feeling of a person speaking using controlled breaths, which is consistent with this narrative; someone telling a story about committing a crime then shrinking back from it to where reality and imagination are now one. Rice remains patient throughout the reveal, allowing tension to grow inside the empty spaces between lines of the lyric.
