His work resonates with lyrical depth, often exploring themes of nature, folk tales, and modern anxieties, while his melodic palette is enriched by lush arrangements and the ethereal textures of his acoustic guitar and pedal steel.

Cullum’s recent releases, such as the single "Cold Damp Valley (alt version)" from March 2023 and "Kingdom Weather" from late 2022, are testaments to his evolving artistry and nuanced sound. His collaborations with a select circle of musicians—including Erin Rae and Rich Ruth—have garnered critical acclaim for their subtle magic and spellbinding atmospheres. Tracks like "An Ode to Dungeness," "Cocktail (7″ version)," and "Music on the Hill" exemplify his ability to conjure moods both reflective and otherworldly, resonating with fans of psych-folk and experimental singer-songwriter fare alike.
