Ed Tullett
Ethereal falsetto and lush, layered folk that feels like a cold morning under a heavy duvet. Intimate, cinematic, and deeply melancholic.

Ed Tullett is a British singer-songwriter and producer whose work is defined by a meticulous approach to vocal layering and atmospheric texture. Emerging in the early 2010s, he initially gained attention for acoustic-led compositions before evolving into a more complex, genre-fluid aesthetic on his 2016 album Fiancé.
His sound identity is characterized by a signature falsetto and the use of the voice as a primary textural instrument, often influenced by the rhythmic phrasing of contemporary R&B and the expansive reverb of dream pop. Tullett is perhaps most widely recognized for his extensive collaboration with Ali Lacey (Novo Amor), a partnership that helped define the 'alt-folk' sound of the mid-2010s characterized by cinematic builds and high-register vocals. Critically, he is praised for his ability to maintain emotional intimacy despite dense, maximalist production. His career arc shows a move away from traditional folk tropes toward a more experimental, electronic-inflected sound, positioning him as a key figure in the UK indie-folk scene alongside peers like Lowswimmer and Hailaker.
