This is the discography of the English singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt . To date, Harcourt has released sixteen studio albums, two compilation albums, three EPs, and fourteen singles (eleven of which have been released commercially). Harcourt's debut album Here Be Monsters was released in June 2001, and peaked on the UK Albums Chart at No. 84. [1] His second album From Every Sphere , released in February 2003, became his highest-charting album at No. 39, and also features his highest-charting single "All of Your Days Will Be Blessed". [1] Released only one year later was his third album Strangers , which features the single "This One's for You", Harcourt's second-highest-charting single at No. 41. [1] Two further singles followed throughout the end of 2004 and 2005: "Born in the '70s" and "Loneliness". A download-only compilation entitled Elephant's Graveyard , collecting B-sides and rarities from 2000 to 2005, was issued in summer 2005. Harcourt's fourth studio album The Beautiful Lie was released in June 2006.

A compilation gathering some of Ed Harcourt's best work appeared in October 2007 as Until Tomorrow Then: The Best of Ed Harcourt , featuring the new single "You Put a Spell on Me". Additionally, a special limited edition version of the best-of included a bonus disc of completely unreleased material. Harcourt's contract with Heavenly Records/EMI ended following the compilation's release; consequently, his Russian Roulette EP was released by American label Dovecote Records in May 2009. Following a "self-imposed sabbatical," [2] Harcourt recorded his fifth studio album Lustre , released in June 2010. [3] The album is also the first release on Harcourt's own record label, Piano Wolf Recordings. [2]

A special edition of the album was also released in the UK, featuring a bonus disc of unreleased recordings. The album was preceded by the radio single "Do as I Say Not as I Do."
