Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

What we carefully plan as we sow in the fields is eventually realised on the plate in front of us.

Tamsin Elliott’s realisation of her entrancing debut solo album, Frey, is one born of the fertility of the metaphorical soil she has nurtured her own sound within as part of the demonstratively cool fusion project Solana. It is this planting of ideas and the reaping for the benefit of all who enjoy the taste of her musical wares, that Frey exploration of healing and the process of accepting grief is a milestone of passion, not only for the musician, but for anyone caught in the maelstrom of being in the limbo of modern times, of the effect that insurmountable sorrow heaped upon our collective shoulders has had.
