Tullett's new record Fiancé, which he considers his true debut, is out now on Monotreme Records. On it, Tullett showcases his own natural progression from the influences of modern melodic folk, alternative R&B, and dream pop elements.
Other ongoing projects include working on a full-length release in collaboration with burgeoning alt-folk artist Novo Amor, with love for their first single "Faux" reaching from NPR to BBC Radio 1 and placements in Bones and Pretty Little Liars. Their new collaborative single 'Alps' was released in April 2016 to similar acclaim

Ribboned Blood
Ed Tullett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you are ribbon bound.
The cracks in your veins
will explode
and give colour out.
Feed,
havoc in place of need,
in warm sheets you had the guts to feel at ease,
and with the heart it will tease,
until lone release.
Take,
rest in arms,
calmed by the thought of harm,
and it had held on
like a machine.
Pray
for dark sooner,
and release from light,
bathe
in blood and iron,
and yawn like a lion
and it falls
from your eyes,
and it is endless.
The opening lines of Ed Tullett's song "Ribboned Blood" paint a picture of somebody who is missing half of their body. The phrase "ribbon bound" implies that what is left is fragile and delicate, as if held together by a ribbon. The imagery of "cracks in your veins" is unsettling, suggesting that even what remains of the body is damaged or broken. The following lines create a sense of transition: the cracks will "explode" and "give color out," a vivid image that hints at the possibility of something new emerging from the brokenness.
The chorus of the song is made up of three imperatives: "Feed," "Take," and "Pray." It's not clear who or what these commands are directed at, but they suggest a desperate attempt to find comfort or meaning in the face of loss or trauma. The line "not watched and alone" is particularly poignant, suggesting that the person being addressed has nobody to turn to for support. The next line ("in warm sheets you had the guts to feel at ease") creates a contrast between the comfort of the past and the uncertainty of the present, as if the singer is grappling with how to find that same sense of calm again.
The final verse of the song is both mysterious and vivid. The lines "bathe in blood and iron" and "yawn like a lion" create a sense of raw, primal energy, while the final line ("and it falls from your eyes, and it is endless") is both haunting and open-ended. It's unclear what "it" refers to, but the sense of something boundless or infinite falling from somebody's eyes is a powerful image.
