Following her acclaimed debut 2023 solo album Seagrass, Gold Bolus Recordings presents Carrie Frey’s Seaglass. Frey has made a name for herself across the U.S. and Europe as one of the leading contemporary and experimental violists of our time. After the widespread success of her first solo album Seagrass (2023) and debut sonata album The Grey Light of Day (2016), Seaglass marks her debut portrait album as a composer, featuring four works of imaginative, alchemical beauty for her string quartet, The Rhythm Method.

Comprised of four quartets commissioned and performed by The Rhythm Method, of which Frey has been a member since 2020, Seaglass showcases Frey’s well-established prowess as a violist in each track. Through intimate knowledge of the possibilities of the string quartet, and using the strengths of the boundary-pushing The Rhythm Method in particular, she coaxes forth unexpected and unheard combinations for the ensemble in this fresh, ear-opening album. All four members of The Rhythm Method are composer-performers, championing a robust repertoire of pieces by the quartet, for the quartet and works by each member can be heard on their eponymous album, The Rhythm Method, including an early version of “Gone/Back.”

Please join us at Fridman Gallery, 169 Bowery NYC, for an album release show for Seaglass on October 11, 2025 at 7PM.
