about

FREY is the debut solo album from Tamsin Elliott, a Bristol-based folk musician, composer and film-maker, and co-leader of fusion project Solana.

Recorded by Alex Garden (The Drystones) at Dylan Fowler’s Stiwdio Felin Fach, the album comprises compositions for accordion, harp, whistle and voice in a mesmerising conjunction of sonic textures. FREY inhabits a soundworld true to her English folk roots, with modal and rhythmic echoes of time spent in Egypt, and moments of ambient experimentalism using effects, drones and field recordings. During a period of rest and uncertainty, she began to create music and sounds that reflected her need for sanctuary, and provided an outlet to process grief. Throughout the album’s 14 tracks, Tamsin explores themes of limbo, pain, healing and acceptance, reflecting on the microcosm of her personal experience of severe illness alongside wider themes of societal disconnection and environmental destruction.

Tamsin is grateful for the support of Sound and Music's 'New Voices' artist development programme, and PRS Foundation's 'Women Make Music' funding in creating this work.
