Ed Tullett has been pretty busy of late, creating a remix of Bon Iver’s “Hinnom, TX”, which led to further remix work with Local Natives and Ajimal, and his ongoing collaborative work with Novo Amor.

Fiancé, though – a rich, epic and ambitious first record. Tullett claims that he is “way past” his formative recordings, and the vast scope he demonstrates on this album – ranging from skittering R&B beats to dream pop keyboards, all held together by waves of Ed’s towering falsetto harmonies.

Across the record Tullett creates often huge, often hushed, gloomy landscapes, dripping in glistening darkness. “Saint” and menacing lead-single “Malignant” are beautifully crushing synthesized centrepieces, whilst the more organic “Posturer” and here “Ply” are flooded with swells of densely layered soaring vocals.

Fiancé does not sound like the work of such a young artist. It also doesn’t sound quite like an electronica album, nor a folk record – it’s its own spiralling, consuming entity. Having stayed under the radar for so long, Ed Tullett has emerged as a fully-formed new voice to be reckoned with.
