Ed Scissor

Ed Scissor is a writer, rapper, and poet whose work interweaves real-life experience with low fantasy; Ed obsessing over the hyper-specifics of the everyday, showering the mundane with delicate notes of the downright fantastical.

His work is best described as a desire line between waking life and dreams. Rooted in the claustrophobia of small, unnamed English towns searching out connection and belonging, where the small is often gargantuan, and nothing is quite as it seems.

Having released multiple records spanning the alt-rap spectrum and with 10-year anthology POST SLEEP (2022) and two poetry collections, SLEEP SUBURBS, WAKE (2021) and TERRESTRIAL (2024) to his name, Ed is currently writing a new album with long-time collaborator Lamplighter, slated for release in 2026.
