In the past decade, Ed Tullett has served as a primary songwriter , producer and contributor on countless records, spanning five projects ( including Novo Amor, Hailaker and Lissom）. But with Lowswimmer - his first solo endeavour - he invites us into a world crafted from a vision that's decidedly his own. Marked by the orchestral opulence Tullett is known for, but paired with a sense of novel intimacy，Lowswimmer's 'Red-Eye Effect' is a collection of songs concerned as much with rearview reflection as they are a hopeful sense of venturing forward. On 'Red-Eye Effect'- featuring many longtime collaborators (S. Carey，Ali Lacey of Novo Amor Ella Williams of Squirrel Flower, and Jemima Coulter of Hailaker）- Ed Tullett peers into the faded Polaroid of his past and constructs sonic worlds that echo with the auditory artifacts of his late 90s childhood. Synths blip and drone like the soundtrack to the earliest Millennial video game adventures ,guitars jangle with the warmth they had resonating against the four bedroom walls of youth. But the nostalgia is paralleled by production that celebrates a future tense. Trumpets usher in the fanfare of the turning century, strings soar into extraterrestrial oblivion, reaching for contact with a forthcoming world.On 'Red-Eye Effect' we are always teetering on the edge of looking back and starting over.
